I just purchased a 2007 Tahoe LT3 today! YAY me! Anyway, I am confused about my remote. I can press the unlock all day long, but unless I use the key to unlock the door, the remote WILL.NOT.WORK. Once I use the key to unlock, it'll lock/unlock/crank all day long via the remote.

What's up with that? The dealer gave us two keys/remotes, do I have the bum one or am I doing something wrong? Battery low? Thoughts?

Also, how do I control the rear a/c from the front? I have two small kids, neither of which can operate the a/c controls from their child restraints. Do I have to reach behind me to adjust?

Anything else I need to have the dealer check besides the cracked dash? I asked them about it and he acted like he was very familiar with the issue and told me it would be no problem to replace and he did not mention a cost. I am going to call him tomorrow to double check that and make sure they're not going to spring a fee on us for that.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Welcome to the forum...
If you are already taking it into the dealer for the dash, I would ask about the remote it may be a programming issue... and its always a good idea to replace batteries of an unknown quality...its a shot gun approach but disconnecting the vehicle battery for a few minutes may also reset the receiver and get things working correctly...

Congrats on your new purchase! Let us know how it goes at the dealership and what they say when you get your vehicle back! I am curious as to what they find!

Welcome to the forum.

Does the remote lock the doors? If not, probably needs a new battery.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this issue with your vehicle. I agree with "73shark", it may be as simple as a battery change. They may need to be reprogrammed too. Would you please clarify the issue…does it work at all?
