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

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

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 !

[@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

[@NG-pf6cd]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@milesblackard419]

Thanks worked great. Thank you

[@PYR-Auto]

[@eliesqueda3116]

Awesome video thanks

[@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

[@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

[@itsnoteasy3520]

Thank you brother for your help

[@PYR-Auto]

You're Welcome!

[@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

[@Edgar-sw8yi]

Mine locks but it wont unlock i tired this and its still doing the same thing do you know why it does that?

[@xIronMikex]

Bad fob button? I know auto stores used to have a fob tester where you stood in front, pressed your fob buttons to see if the test light indicated.

[@hookke8157]

Ever figure out the issue ?

[@SkateYoungNReckless]

I was able to program my key, tested it sitting inside but as soon as I get out it won’t work

[@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

[@witchypoo13]

Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@PYR-Auto]

yes it should

[@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

[@utopia4160]

Will this procedure program my 2016 GMC SIERRA

[@PYR-Auto]

no

[@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

[@caitlyngill1788]

What if my existing key fob doesn’t work?

[@TheKentleuk]

Just purchased 06 tahoe, keys came with no key fob. Can I still program a couple new ones?

[@PYR-Auto]

yes

[@tonyprimiano9117]

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

[@ForzaRT]

Why my key fob in 2006 Silverado is not working when is next to another Chevy car

[@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

[@waynefoulds1973]

easy thanks to you

[@PYR-Auto]

Glad it helped

[@williambrown7203]

GMC Sierra 2001 with manual transmission and no power windows and didn't work. Works fine on our 2004 suburban....

[@PYR-Auto]

Sounds like the 2001 does not have the factory remote option since there are no power windows

[@charliedanoele]

HELP...Sync to my door locks but not to my alarm any suggestions..

2002 Silverado 1500 hd

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@anc-absolutelynotcertified3421]

Very good

[@PYR-Auto]

Thanks!
