I need to know how to re-program my keyless entry on my 1994 ga gt. The system is the factory installed RKE system.
Just wondering if anybody has had trouble with these and knows how to fix it. The problem started about a week ago when all of a sudden the RKE just stopped working, it worked fine before. I checked the batteries and tested it with both remotes with no luck (also tested the fuse), so thats why i think it may need re-programming. It does still operate fine OCCASIONALLY which has me really confused, I'd say maybe once or twice a day it will work normally but wont work at all the rest of the time.
If anybody has any ideas/help i would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Just a thought, my last car was a saturn and my RKE would get sporatic sometimes, after testing fuses, batteries, and everything else I could think of, I decided to try cleaning the black contacts on the keypad and wiping down the circuit board to and it worked. I had to clean the hell outta mine @ least once a month to keep it working right. I had reprogramming instructions once also, i'll see if i can get back to you with them if i can find them...

Try these in case the cleaning didn't work...
Transmitter Programming
Important
Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of
other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the
transmitters to the incorrect vehicle. The order in which the transmitters are programmed is important.
The first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be
transmitter #2. Use care to program the transmitters correctly.
Transmitter Programming RKE Integrated Into BCM
1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
3. In order to add or replace a transmitter, use the scan tool Body Control Module Special Functions:
Add/Replace Key FOB in order to place the body control module into program mode. In order to
program all of the transmitters, use the scan tool Body Control Module Special Functions: Clear
Memory/Program All FOBs in order to place the body control module into program mode.
4. The BCM will confirm entry into the program mode by sounding the chime twice.
Important
The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
5. Press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on one transmitter for
approximately 12 seconds. The BCM will confirm the programming of that transmitter by
sounding the chime twice.
6. If you are programming all of the transmitters, repeat the previous step to program up to four
transmitters. If you would like to add another transmitter, return to step 3.
7. Remove the scan tool.
8. Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming.
9. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
Programming RKE Transmitters With RCDLR Module
Important
All key fobs must be programmed each time any one fob is programmed.
The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.
1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF.
3. Select Remote Function Actuation.
4. Select Special Functions.
5. Select Program Key Fobs.
6. Select the number of key fobs to be programmed.
7. Press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first transmitter for
approximately 15 seconds. The Power Locks should cycle to confirm programming of the first fob
is complete.
8. If you are programming more than one transmitter, repeat the previous step to program up to four
transmitters.
9. Remove the scan tool.
10. Exit the vehicle. Attempt to lock/unlock the doors to verify the programming.
11. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.
