Keyless entry not working

I changed the battery in my remote and it still won't work. Is there any fuses for this or anything I should try before blowing a bunch of money?

Open the key fob up and clean it. Use q-tip and alcohol or electronics cleaner. You'll be able to see the contact points. Sometimes that works.

Re: Keyless entry not working

I was looking for replacement keyless entry remotes not too long ago and I found a site that had them for $29.99 for my Camaro.

I had them delivered in less than a week and the programming instructions only took maybe 10 seconds?

Anyways, here's a link to the site:

Https://www.ThePartsYouNeed.com

Just click the Chevrolet category, or type CAMARO in their search box.

Re: Keyless entry not working

The key fob is the plastic piece that houses the transmitter. It's the piece with buttons on it.

Re: Keyless entry not working

Ok well, got a new key fob and tried to program it and it is still not working. Is there some kind of receiver in the car that can crap out? I am really getting annoyed having the alarm go off every time I unlock the door with the key.

Re: Keyless entry not working

I believe on the 96-up camaros the keyless is part of the BCM which is behind the passenger kick panel.

Re: Keyless entry not working

I'd like to know how to determine if it's the transmitter or receiver.
