Keyless entry remote

So I am having issues with my Keyless entry remote. The Unlock button does not work all of a sudden. Every other button works fine just not the unlock. I have opened it up and took a look and everything seems okay and I changed the battery but nothing helped. Any one have any ideas? Anyone know where i can get a new keyless remote with programing intsructions?

Thats what I thought but it all looks good. Called the dealer for a quote and $133 + 80 labour to program it

no not that the board is bad, but the rubber on the fob...
go buy one on ebay and swap out the inside circuit board.
They are like $20 something...

yup i push my button down to lock and it doesnt work...but to unlock works every now and then, i may have to move it around push more or push less......but i think it is the buttons themselves...sometime i will quit being a slacker and get a new fob and just swap my stuff and see if it works...i have been told that it is the fob itself, and not the board...so who kows, but i would rather try it then pay $100 some plus...to get a fob from gm

I'm having the exact same issue with the exact same button, but dealer said they would cover it under the 3/36 warranty. Just have to remember to take it there before it's up!
