#17 of 20 Programming a GM remote (1998 Silhouette) by fschoeffler Aug 09, 2001 (5:36 am)
For those who are interested, I lost a remote and purchased another from the dealer. I successfully used the following instructions previously posted in this discussion to reprogram two remotes including an original and the new remote. The dealers will sometimes charge to perform this task. I believe this procedure is from the shop manual and can not be found in the owners manual.    -----------------------------------------------------   Once the remote control door lock receiver enters the programming/diagnostic mode, the programming of the first transmitter erases all previous transmitter programming information, requiring the programming of all transmitters.   Program only 1 vehicle remote control door lock receiver at a time. If more than 1 receiver is being programmed at the same time, it is possible that the same transmitter could be programmed to more than 1 remote control door lock receiver.   Perform the following steps in order to program the transmitter: · Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder. · Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from the fuse panel. Refer to Fuse Block diagram. · Close all of the doors. · Close the liftgate. · Turn the ignition lock cylinder to ACC. · Turn the ignition lock cylinder to OFF, and then back to ACC within 1 second. Open and close any vehicle door. A chime will be heard when the system enters the BCM programming/diagnostic mode.   Important After 7 seconds, a chime may be heard confirming successful synchronization. It is necessary to wait approximately 14 seconds for a second chime that will confirm successful programming.   · Press and hold the transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds. · Repeat the previous step on each additional transmitter to be programmed. · Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder. · Install the BCM PRGRM fuse back into the fuse panel. Refer to Fuse Block diagram.   Important: Be careful and be sure which fuse you pull.

I found a remote on e-bay for $10 which is much less than the $60 from the dealer. Problem is no instructions for programming. Can anyone help me?   Thanks.

Did you purchase a new remote or just change the battery in the old one? If it's not origianl to the truck a trip to the dealer is nessessary. Otherwise it is simple, just follow the instructions I have posted above.
