The keyless entry on my '95 Z28 mysteriously stopped working, so I replaced the batteries in both of the key fob transmitters. I rarely drive the car, so I'm assuming that the batteries in both transmitters died, as they were 7 years old.

Do I need to do something to get them working again or re-program them?

 

There should not be any reprogramming needed. If you happen to need it, there is programming info on my Tech Page.

 

Could both of the transmitters just no longer work? Is there a way to test them? Or should I just try the re-programming strategy?

Thanks!

 

Sometimes my unit does not respond correctly, but I can tell the signal is getting to the receiver in the car, because the interior lights come on (but the doors won't lock or unlock). Step 2 of the programming procedure will tell you if the fob is communicating with the receiver, but won't tell you which one is bad if they don't communicate.

 

On my 95Z both keyfobs with new batteries work when they feel like it...most times it works so I dont mess with tryin to fix it

I see I'm not the only one

 

Should I just buy new key fob transmitters? Only available through the dealer?

 

Mine worked like crap till I took it apart and dried out the condensation inside and cleaned the contacts on the membrane with contact cleaner.

 

I wouldn't buy anything without some testing, first. Highly doubtful that both fobs quit at the same time, don't you think? I have heard of people getting fobs off Ebay.
