Keyless Entry Failing?

Guys/Gals,

I have a 95 T/A and the keyless entry system has been slowly faiding over the past couple of years and is now not responding. The remotes do function (tested them on another vehicle) and they both have new batteries. I tried to reprogram the remotes using the jumper method to put it into program mode, jumping 4 and 8 on the DLC port, but nothing happens at all. Does this mean that my keyless receiver/module (behind the pass kick panel) is probably dead and if so how can I diagnose it is infact this before I pickup a spare one from a donor car? Any help is much appreciated.

Yeah, I have 2 good remotes and the jumper to program did not even respond so I'm pretty sure it's dead. Getting a used one off a guy here and I'll let you know if it's working again. BTW - do you mean a new keyfob remote or whole new system?

Just a new remote from a dealership uptown, and i didn't think it was going to be as expensive as it was to get just a new remote and programming.

Just wanted to update everyone. Went to replace the Keyless entry mod last weekend and found that it was missing behind the pass kickpanel. The reason is GM pulled it when the GM alarm was installed (when the car was new) and the GM alarm module handles the keyless entry portion as well. So, I found the gm alarm mod under the lower dash panel (under the steering column) and might I add it's quite a brick - haha. Oh well, I unplugged the power from the module to reset it and BAM - it works. Both remotes now work and the car has no more issues with the keyless entry. Sometimes a good reset works wonders.
