Default Do you just replace the BCM or find a specific one ?

I have the right codes in my glove box for keyless entry but I can’t enter programming mode and the symptoms of a bad BCM seem far worse than just not being able to gain access to keyless entry. Are you positive it’s the BCM because I don’t want to spend $200 on something i don’t need to

I used the highbeam to do this aswell. But the problem is when you hold the unlock and lock button to program the fob the locks cycle automatically. The fob does nothing in this situation it's just automatically doing it.

As it turns out, this fine June 30th of 2022, I needed to program my fob to ensure the PCM wasn't derping with the fuel control module/black magic/demon sacrifices/usual chevy chicanery. Worked perfectly, and my passenger side window/lock control module only unlocks for some reason. After the reprogram, I did end up gaining lock and unlock on passenger side.
Like I was saying, typical Chevy weirdness abounds.
Hope this gets ya right.

now, if its a classic style, IE the GMT400/last of the square bodies, pins 4 and 8 in the OBD2 DLC connector require a jumper to enter programming mode.

I just reprogrammed my 1999 Silverado LS Z71 and the directions are as follows:
INSTRUCTION SHEETInstruction_Sheet_Key_Fobs_006
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
1. Close all the vehicle doors.
PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder.
2. Press and hold the door unlock switch.
3. While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, cycle the
ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF.
4. Release the door unlock switch. The doors will lock and unlock to
confirm the program mode.
5. Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simulta-
neously on one transmitter. After a delay of approximately 15 sec-
onds, the doors will lock and unlock to confirm the programming of
that transmitter.
6. Repeat the previous step to program up to four transmitters.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position in order to exit the key-
less entry transmitter mode.
8. Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system
operation.

Worth also noting that if the process DOES NOT work at all, you will sadly REQUIRE dealership programming.
The dealer so far as I know is the ONLY place to program keys if the vehicles been stolen or the chip doesnt match the PCM or whatnot.

also, the website I found my own programming instructions on is:
