Default Old problem, too lazy to ask before

A long time ago my remote key entry thing-a-ma-jig worked, but sadly it hasn't been working for the longest time...guess I learned to live with it, but it would be nice to have it working again. What are the steps to get me back in business? I replaced the batteries in the remote itself with no luck.

If stock, check http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/techinfo/?article=59

or get a GMLink account and grab your owners manual from there (www.pontiac.com)

Yeah I read that and the 95 techinfo over, but why would it slowly degrade in working till the point when it just did nothing when I pushed the buttons?

I would guess batteries, but when you replace the batteries, you then have to re-synch the remote. Generally by pushing Lock and Unlock at the same time for a few seconds. You'll need to check your specific year to find out.

The contacts inside may be wearing out or getting dirty.

Or you couldve just worn out the contacts on the remote.
