2000 - 2006 Chevy Silverado Remote Key Fob Programming - How To Pair Program Chevrolet Fob

A DIY video tutorial on how to program or pair a remote key fob to a 2000 - 2006 Chevy Silverado. You will need an ignition key and all of the key fob remotes you want programmed to the Chevrolet Silverado in order to complete this programming procedure.
To program or pair a remote key fob to your Chevy Silverado:
1. Close all vehicle doors.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel-continue to hold down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock the doors automatically.
10. Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote key fob simultaneously until the door locks and unlocks. This step may take up to 30 seconds.
11. Repeat step 10 NOW for each additional remote key fob (including any existing fobs).
12. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position in order to exit the remote programming mode.
This programming or pairing procedure applies to the following models of Chevrolet Silverado:
2000 Chevy Silverado
2001 Chevy Silverado
2002 Chevy Silverado
2003 Chevy Silverado
2004 Chevy Silverado
2005 Chevy Silverado
2006Chevy Silverado

I watched another video that said to open and close the door and then turn the key on after you do the first steps I did that and it worked.

[@jasonv4806]

Thank you for this. I bought two fobs that came with a "go to link for instructions" that didn't exist. Your instructions were clear, concise and true. Thanks so much!!!

I had one of my original fobs that came with my truck when new that lost its programing on my GMC Sierra. The fob battery got so weak it would not lock or unlock the doors and the emergency (RED) button did not work. I replaced the battery with a new one but the fob still did not work so I got in the truck and ran through these steps and with the same new battery the fob started working again. Thanks !

[@tfreeb7353]

Thanks! I was missing the step to do the old and new at the same time. Now I know where I went wrong. :)

[@58fenderdeluxe]

Will this also work for a 2005 Chevy Express Van ? Thank you!

[@PYR-Auto]

No - unfortunately there is no manual way to program fobs to a 2005 Express. You will need an automotive locksmith or dealership

[@BackwoodStacks]

I tried this for my tbss it didn’t work wat would u recommend

[@MrKnacker74]

Thanks for the help! After reprogramming the remote the door locks work again but not the start function. All that happens when I push the start button is the exterior lights flash 5 times. Any idea on how to get the start function to work again?

[@PYR-Auto]

Im not sure what you mean when you say you are pressing the start button - these years of Silverado did not have push button start

[@MrKnacker74]

@@PYR-Auto It is an aftermarket remote start unit (Polar Start). I have found that either I can program my fob via flashing the hood pin or by pushing unlock button, brake, ignition, ect.. Anyhow, I resolved the issue. I hadn't programmed the Tach, once this was done I could remote start. Now what I can't figure out is how to enable the Cold Weather Mode. I did find the manual and it says to press and hold the shift button, then press and hold the start/stop button for 3 secs. The parking lights will flash 3 times (FYI, the supplied remote is a 5 button). I've tried this several times either by pressing the buttons in succession or consecutively and nothing happens. I don't expect you to know this, but just throwing it out there,

[@PYR-Auto]

For sure - glad you got it figured out

[@aaronraymond6243]

When I try this my horn honks and the key fob does nothing please help

[@heatherbellamy6778]

Will this process also delete all previously programmed fobs? I had one stolen and want to delete it from my system if possible.

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes it will

[@KDuboutdoors19]

I have key fobs left from vehicles that I've junked. Will this work for a used fob as well as a new one?

[@PYR-Auto]

yes, as long as you are using the correct used fob

[@jefrebugni4064]

Do you have to have the old fob to do the first cycle like you did here? I had one working fob for my truck, and it quit working. I tried a new battery and it did not fix it. So as of now, I have no fob.

[@PYR-Auto]

no - you do not need the old fob

[@yancyhammondjr]

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS. When I press the unlock and lock on driver side door it doesn't unlock or lock the passenger side door. What do you think that might be?

[@justindeckard5296]

how did you fix it?

[@tayk6815]

Where did you get the extra key fob and what dose it mean when your unlock button don’t work but your lock one does

[@PYR-Auto]

This was an old key fob that we already had. The button pads can wear out over time and some buttons may stop working - I would try replacing the button pad - replacements can be found online.

[@victherapper]

I have an 02 Silverado and it’s not working for some reason?

[@bryansanchez1854]

This might be a dumb question but can this work if you have an aftermarket alarm system?

[@PYR-Auto]

it can still work but depending on the alarm system it may cause issues as well

[@xunikarielx]

Hello Try to follow the procedure but as soon as I hit the ignition two times and release the open button, few seconds later, mine gets out of the programming time by honking two times

[@hebeb394]

Mine does this as well. Did you ever figure it out?

[@tonyprimiano9117]

This procedure didn't work for me with a new remote what do I do now?

[@vincecrocker6209]

I did this with my trailblazer and the first one was successful but he second never cycled the door locks and wasn't programmed. Any advice?

[@PYR-Auto]

it sounds like there may be just be an issue with the second remote

[@smh5738]

What if you don’t already have a key fob? Since you have to have 2 for it to work?

[@PYR-Auto]

You don't need existing fobs for this to work - as long as the vehicle has the factory remote option

[@garrycoleman2494]

When I bought the truck it didn't have a key fob so can I buy one and program it without having the original fob?

[@PYR-Auto]

Yes - as long as the vehicle has the factory remote option

[@fazejuice6098]

mine i do it but like right after i put it in the cycle it immediately cycles again after and it doesnt program the key

I had to do it 3x then it worked. Keep trying.

a 2007 Colorado key fob is not manually programmable - you will need an automotive locksmith or dealership

[@williamdolder5856]

How can I do it without the push button lock ?

[@PYR-Auto]

if you do not have power locks then the vehicle will not have the factory remote option installed

[@ZoArellano]

My Silverado does the cycle twice not once and won’t program. It’ll unlock and lock twice one I release the unlock bottom

[@Juniorwest7]

Is it possible to program two ??

[@PYR-Auto]

yes - if you look at the steps in the description box of the video - you need to repeat step 10 for each additional remote

Would this work on a WT model

[@PYR-Auto]

depends on how it was ordered - the truck needs to have the factory remote option installed.

[@eldenl1]

How can you tell if factory remote was installed? My husband got the truck second hand with no key fob?

[@dillonhiggins6443]

I don't have power switch locks how do I program.

[@PYR-Auto]

if you do not have electric locks then you will not have the factory remote option
