Hey Everyone,
I just had an LS3 Cam, RotoFab and DoD delete done on my car and when I picked it up the key fobs didn't work. The keys themselves work and are the original ones, but when I hit the buttons nothing happens (I tried changing the remote batteries).
I assumed they just needed to be reprogrammed so I followed the steps I found where you put a key in and to the on position then go to customize and go to remote key. What happens though is that I click the "program" option after which it should prompt me to reprogram the keys, but instead after a couple seconds of doing nothing it just says "programming failed".
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I can't reprogram the keys and how to get them working again? My mechanic said he has access to a tech2 device, would that help?
As a side note, but maybe related, I noticed my lights were dimming a bit when idling and when I checked the battery charge it said 1.1% (then after running a bit went to 1.9%). The voltage was 14.6ish and the alternator is brand new (month old). Could it just be a drained battery from when they did the install? Or maybe just a bad battery (it's the original one, so 6ish years old).
Thanks for all your help!
