How To: Program Key Fob Remote or Keyless Entry - 2002-2009 Chevy Trailblazer & similar GM Vehicles

[@resedafredricky]

2003 Trailblazer, just replaced the fob today - 9/14/2024. I followed the instruction in this video. It was easy easy. Thanks.

[@leahpopp8449]

thank you for being one of the few ppl to explain the different frequencies and how they aren't all the same!

[@AxlesGarage]

You're welcome. And to think, people say I talk too much. I wonder how many skipped right over that/ Thanks for watching.

[@cheezeburger100]

Very imformative about the right frequency..thank you so helpful!!

[@castanedadennis8750]

Idk why anyone would think all the remotes would be the same frequency. If that's the case you'd lock/unlock every trailblazer within 100 feet in the Walmart parking lot

[@carlabrumbaugh2732]

Thank you. Worked like a charm. Paired an '07 TB old fob with our '05 TB. Very clear instructions.

[@AxlesGarage]

Glad to help

[@BL-jz7sg]

Just wanted to say. I had a old 02 trailblazer, scraped it, and kept the key FOB sad a keepsake. Just got my 04 trailblazer with one FOB. Now I’ve got 2 FOB’s that work! So they are interchangeable on the years of trailblazer if someone is wondering! Thank you for the easy video, now I can keep my first cars FOB on me, and it’s practical.

[@AxlesGarage]

Good info, thank you

[@mightyfist10]

2005 Chevy Trailblazer. It worked flawlessly. Thank you so much!

[@sgtgumby]

U....Duh....MAN!!! I had my Trailblazer for over 10 years now. Purchased it used with only one remote. Didn't even know that you can order off of Amazon until I saw your video 2 days ago after my wife told me the one remote is not working anymore I changed the batteries with no luck now here I am under $25 in two days later with two brand new remotes that work perfectly. AutoZone wanted over $65 for one remote which led me to KZbin it's trick to this video. My wife and I thank you so much

[@AxlesGarage]

Glad we could help. Thanks for watching.

[@ranchounited5587]

2004 Trailblazer Ext V8...these instructions worked perfectly. I used the link below. Could have saved a few bucks on other vendors...but not worth the risk.

[@mostlypeacefulmisterputin]

*Yea I got this same deal for my 2003 Yukon XL a couple years ago…they were easy to program, then after about a month the primary fob stopped working completely.* *Started using the secondary fob, and after a couple months the battery went dead, I replaced it with a new battery, 2 days later the battery was dead again.* *Went out and bought another battery, used a multimeter and checked the voltage right out of the package and it was good.* *Put it in and 2 days later it was dead, and not just low/dead…it was under 1 volt ((a new CR2032 battery starts out at around 3-3.25 volts).* *Stopped using that fob and haven’t been able to get another one to program to the truck since! It enters programming mode but immediately exits on its own as soon as you release the lock button (horn beeps a second time to confirm it’s out of programming mode).* *Guess that’s what I get for cheaping out originally and buying cheap Chinese knock-offs!*

[@AxlesGarage]

Something is going on, I have had no issues with the cheapo fobs or batteries going dead. Popping out of programming mode is probably a clue.

[@horacioborgen-alfaro456]

Thank you man! You saved me today 60 bucks. I appreciate it!!

[@cliflove5141]

Just saw you video yesterday went on Amazon purchase a package of 2 they should be here on Thursday and I'm gonna follow your easy instructions.THANKS

[@cliflove5141]

Well the fobs arrived I follow the instructions as you stated, It didn't work, waited a few minutes tried it again same result.I gave up started the car to move it, I heard a "boom" smoke coming out both sides of my hood.Turn the engine off raise the hood I could see no problem. I guess I'm going to Buick dealer to get it done. I have a 2002 Buick LeSabre Limited.

[@AxlesGarage]

I think you have a bigger problem

[@Mike-fi5se]

Before you purchase a new fob(s), try this and see if you can salvage your old one(s). Carefully open up the fob with a penny on the indent located on the bottom right (with the buttons facing you). Separate the front and back halves. Take out the battery and check to make sure it is not weak with a battery tester. If unsure, change with a new battery. Dollar stores may have them cheap. Clean the battery contacts gently with 91% or better isopropyl alcohol using a Q-tip. You can then separate the rubber button pad from the circuit board. Wash the rubber button board with soapy water and a use toothbrush to clkean any stuck muck, rinse and let dry thoroughly. Next, clean the contact area on the circuit board with Q-tips and alcohol until shiny. Or alternately you can use a soft pencil eraser (not a hard ink one!). Wipe clean with alcohol afterwards. You can wash the muck out of the case with soapy water and dry thoroughly, too. Carefully insert the new battery with the + terminal up, facing you. Reassemble the fob. Try it to see if it works. If not, you can reprogram from Axel's instructions, taking care to do it EXACTLY as he says. I did this and my two fobs work and look like brand new. Saved $$$. Thanks, Axel, for your straight to the point instructions.

[@AxlesGarage]

Good Info. Thanks for watching.

[@patrickstenson830]

My problem is the lock/unlock buttons do not work but the trunk and alarm do. I tried changing the batteries, still the same. This happened after I changed the car battery several years ago gradually then just lock worked, now neither. I am worried if I try this, I may mess it up altogether.

[@kennethmack7697]

Thx for making this video, watched one on how to do it on a 04 Tahoe. I own a 08 Trailblazer and it seemed to be the same process. Thanks for the tip of having them on your leg, luckily I found a brand new key fob in a 03 trailblazer at the junkyard. The numbers on the back were the same and it was a easy 5 minute job to do.

[@Karmah01]

Thank you so much! I just found out today that my keys don't work on my 2006 Trailblazer door lock. I never even tried to use the key to lock/unlock the door before today. I've always used the fob and never needed to use the key except for the ignition. Oh boy! I have to rely on my key fob and I only have one. 😟 I looked into getting the lock replaced....NOPE! Way too spendy! I will be going to Amazon and buying 2 spare fobs. Thanks again for your help! Looking forward to having a couple of spares! 😊 In fact, I might even get 4 spares and give one to each of my kids one because you never know when/if you lock yourself out of the car! It's easier (and cheaper) to call one of my kids than it is a locksmith! 🔑

[@AxlesGarage]

Thanks for watching, coming soon will be a door lock & key video on a 2003 Yukon, process would be similar for you.

[@boogerhead0]

Notes: 1) When turning the key on then off, do so rather quickly. If delay too long, programming mode will not be entered. 2) Once programming mode has been entered, all prior key fob settings are erased, so program all fobs you have, in the order that you desire to be called ... Driver 1, Driver 2, etc.
