I didn't drive my Yukon for a couple weeks, needless to say the battery went dead. Jumped her off and drove it around to recharge the battery and all is well. But............now the remotes don't work for the door unlock and remote start. We only use one of the remotes, so the other is practically new. Neither works. Any ideas?
TIA

Still may have a Gremlin..............both remotes worked for about a half hour after the reprogram, then they stopped. I'm stumped????

A few months ago I posted THIS THREAD on a bad electric problem that I had with my Tahoe only 2 weeks into owning it. Took it in and it was a stupid wire harness that needed to be re-located. My battery was drained and the computer on the truck went crazy. Since that post I think I've read about 8-12 threads of a similar situation like yours. The best thing to do for anyone that experiences problems like this is take it to the dealer and have them fix it before it gets worse.

The answer, I have found, is to have the BCM reset by the dealer.

Problem: keyless remotes fail to work unless the vehicle is unlocked with the key, then the remote works for a couple minutes then stops.
