8 years later and i’m watching this but thank you!!
I was about to order new fobs and stumbled across this video. So glad that I did, I’m the happiest woman right now. No more opening the door with the key and getting into a cold car.
Awesome! I ordered a replacement key fob but in all my online searching I didn't have matching information. I took the replacement fob, opened it up and inserted my programmed fob. The unlock button was worn out on mine too. I just put the old into the new one and voila! Works perfectly! Thank you for saving me a $80 reprogramming fee from the dealership!
My wife's 2007 Buick Lacross remotes both didn't work or were very very slow to work, I took them apart and used the foil and voila it works great now!! Thank you, you saved me a bunch of money from car dealership.
Thank you a million times over for sharing this solution. I just tried it using aluminum foil and without the superglue, and it works perfectly. I was getting so frustrated before watching this video. To anyone wondering about this I can confirm that it does indeed work. Save yourself hundreds and do not go to a dealership or locksmith. Use this method and you'll be happy you saved time and money. It only took me 5 minutes.
bro you saved me, 145.00+taxes for a new fob,65.00+taxes for reprogramming and just honestly gave me a piece of mind back knowing my car is locked and secured and able to start and be warm on the cold days! big ups bro!😎👍👌
My 06 Malibu fob stopped working four years ago, took it to the shop and they charged me $40 to fix it and it worked for a week before breaking again. Just tried this and worked perfectly. Lol wish I watched this three or four years ago as I've been keying into my car since. Thanks for the help really simple yet efficient tip
My wife stopped at the dealer to see why the remote wouldn't work at all and he told her it had got wet and was shot, and would replace it for $125 for a new remote and free to reprogram. Checked out this video and tried it and everything now works perfectly even the remote car starter which wasn't working for along time. Thanks a lot you saved me $125 👍 (06 Buick LaCrosse) thank you thank you
Couldn't believe this worked. 2011 Chevy Malibu. Every button worked except the remote start. Sometimes it would work, sometimes I had to hold it down for 8-10 seconds, sometimes not at all. I replaced the battery and then the button made the horn beep 3 times, then nothing at all. I was ready to go to the dealer until I watched this video. Not sure if you have to do all the buttons, but while you're in there, why not! Thanks SO much for this quick fix man!
I went to GM and they wanted $210.00 for 1 new FOB. I followed these directions for both that came with my car an they both work now. Toatal cost 0 dollars. Thanks for posting this. It was easy.
THIS WORKED! My car fob hasn’t worked for 2 years, I finally decided to do something about it. I almost spent $180 on a new fob but did some digging, found this video, and am so happy that I did! Thank you so much.
My husband and I recently purchased a 2007 Buick LaCrosse with a remote start key fob, and we could only get the trunk to pop and the alarm to start. We were so bummed that we couldn’t use the remote start! Not to mention unlocking and locking manually is a pain. But thanks to you, we can do all those things! I stuck aluminum on the back of each button with nail polish and it worked!! Thanks so much!
Man I finally decided to search RUclips for a fix and here it is. I put it off for a year now and thankfully I didn't buy a new one after pricing it at my Buick dealer. they wanted $129.99 for a new one. Well thanks to that aluminum and the smart guy who discovered this fix I can now use my remote start again. yeahhhhhh boy!
Have been dealing with my unlock button not working for almost a year. And this worked!! I'm so thankful!!
You are a lifesaver. I have a 2010 Malibu with the unlock button not working and Minnesota this winter has been brutal. Works perfectly and the dealerships wont be getting a penny of my money. Appreciate the help!!
2012 Chevy Malibu: Worked like a charm!!! You just saved me a C-note.
I had the exact same problem. Trunk, lock and remote start all worked. Used this tip and unlock works! Now I don't wanna drive my car off an abutment!!
Just have to say it works.Just bought a 08 Chevy Malibu LTZ. Only the trunk button worked. Now everything works, and I can remote start my new car here in the middle of Summer in AZ. Thank you.
This is totally a god send!!! I just had a baby and it was such a pain in the ass cause my key fob wasn't working!!! It works better now than it ever has!!!
I purchased my 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix 10 months ago. The remote start and the unlock buttons have never worked. I tried this solution and it worked! All of my remote buttons are now working. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
I was so mad thinking I just bought an 05 lacrosse and the buttons all work EXCEPT UNLOCK and I gotta pay for another fob but here I am now and I wanna thank you and whoever else posted this
i really want to thank you for showing this video. i spend $120 at the dealer 2 yrs ago for 1 remote. it did not want to lock the doors so i starter watching your video and follow step by step. it worked and also another remote that i had. works perfectly. thanks again.
Awesome!! Had no idea why the lock button stopped working. Fixed both of my sets that have not worked for 2 years. Good Job!!
Thanks so much! You helped me to fix the fob and save a bunch of money. At first I thought the fob didn't work because the foam inside was all flattened but that wasn't it. Improving the contact with foil was what fixed it.
This video just saved me so much money that I really didn't want to shell out right before Christmas shopping.. thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this tip! Yours showed up in google search first. I replaced the fob batteries and was about to purchase new fobs, then spend more to get them programmed, but this trick worked like a charm! 2010 Chevy Malibu LTZ fob 22733524.
This video has help me in so many ways. From trying this task to Ultimately saving $170 from ordering something I didn't need to replace. Thank you very much !!!! I appreciate it fellas. What other tricks of the trade do you know ? Lol
Been trying to get my spare to work after I lost my original..I watched plenty of videos on how to fix but this was the only one that actually helped..thank you!
Thank you so much for this post because you just saved me 90$ in getting a new one and bringing it to a dealership or a locksmith.i just want to say from the bottom of my heart thank you so so so much i was very sceptical but it works like magic.
thank you so much for trying and reposting this! i live in PA and it's starting to get cold and my auto start does not work without the lock button! definitely sharing!
I tired this on my 09 Uplander and it worked. I was having a heck of a time finding anyone to program the two new fobs that I bought, so I re soldered the battery clips onto the circuit board on both old FOBS, then put the old circuit boards into the new fobs
, works like brand new without any foil, and no need to reprogram:-) Thanks a bunch!!!
To my surprise, it works. I too also had the problem of two of the buttons that did not work. I did as you did, without the glue, and now all the buttons work. Who would have thought. Thanks for the video.
😕I've been opening my car door like it's 1995 for some time now and finally decided to look into repairing/replacing the keyless entry remote. After finding out how much $$ to replace, figured I'd RUclips it!!! Great vid👍🏿Worked like a charm! Thanks!
I Watched this, and within 3 minutes my non working fob worked. CRAZY!
I have been having problems with my remotes as well all though it was the lock button and then the unlock buttons started going. A new one at the auto parts store is 80 dollars so I started looking on the net when I came across this video. Thank you very much. Both of my remotes work perfectly now and also at a distance. Thank you again.
Thank you sooooo much for this. I couldn't use my automatic starter and lock my doors. Now it's fixed thanks to your video. Amazing man much thanks to you!
youtube is a great sight . I fixed my GM remote thanks to your videos. Dean
Thanks for your reposting of this. Worked like a charm. Worked so much I put it in all the keyfobs just to head this issue off at the pass. I dare say all keyfobs work and respond faster now than ever before to.
I don't care if you call aluminum foil tin foil. That is not important or the issue. You can call it dodo if you want. All I care about is it worked for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Just watched your video looking for answers on how to fix my FOB. This did the trick! If I knew where you lived I would buy you dinner!!! Thanks for posting!!!
Just did the tin foil hack with my 2006 Buick Lacross key fob and it works perfectly! Thank you for sharing this simple idea!
This worked great for my 2007 Saturn Aura Remote! I have a 5 button remote and the lock button stopped working and the unlock became difficult on my primary remote. My secondary hadn't worked for lock/unlock for years! Thanks for this!!!
Wow, Just got back from trying to get this remote checked out unsuccessfully when I thought to try you tube and found this. Gave it a try and voila it worked. You don't even need to glue the foil in as it cant move in the tight space it's in, but hey either way I'm very happy I found this. thanks a lot
Who knew...after 1 and a half years my remotes work again. Love the simple solution. Thanks for the video!!! Minus 5 degrees today and I get to use my remote start woo hoo!!!
Thank you!!!!! This worked perfectly on my Malibu! The hole punch worked great!
Oh, my gosh, I have been having a similar problem with my two remotes, I tried your solution, and IT WORKS. I now have two working remotes. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this genius video. I fixed both of my key fobs to my 2011 Chevy Malibu with 10cents worth of aluminum foil!
Yay! Thanks for the video! I bought a new remote and programmer for 60 bucks and couldn't get even that work!! Who knew all I needed was a bit of tin foil!! Worked wonders! Thanks again!
This is awesome, of corse I just ordered two new remotes because both our quit, but have decided to keep them as spares. My "broken" remote however works great now! I am going to share this on Facebook and hope the word gets out!
This solution works! Just bought a new car and only the trunk key worked! Added foil, no glue put it back together and.....voila! Unlock...Lock...Beep Beep!! Thanks! Saved me some bucks!!
Hey Thanks! This worked on my 07 GT! All other buttons worked except the unlock. Added a little foil and BOOM, I was able to unlock again!
Michael, thanx so much for the vid. my remote was delayed in the lock and unlock mode, however the trunk and panic worked perfect.... I just did the alum foil trick and they are working perfect..... Nice to see something that works on youtube....
Damn!! It worked! I only did the lock button for now as that was the only one that wasn't working. if it happens to any other button, I now know what to do! Thanks!
thank you for this video. I was almost about to bite the bullet and buy new ones and pay the dealer to relearn the new Fobs.
This was the solution.
Wow!! I tried this, and mine worked! I just bought a 2010 Pontiac G6 and was sad that the key FOB was dead...so I thought!....I am super excited. Thanks for sharing this video and thanks to the original video poster who ever you are.
Thank you. I found that just cleaning the contacts with a Q-tip helped to resolve the issue (lock and unlock buttons working intermittently ). However, I now know about the aluminum foil trick in case it's needed in the future. Thanks for posting this!
Wow the dam thing worked thank you so much I went to the Buick dealer ship they wanted to charge me $159.00 for a new remote RUclips was my last resort because it sucks not to be able to automatic start or unlock or lock your doors.... Thank God for this video and mike who came up with it.
Its worked and buy was I happy because the local auto dealer wanted $83 + tax for a new fob + $55 to program it. Great fix!
Dude you have no idea how much this works for me. Thanks man.
Thank you so much for the help! After watching your video I went on and clicked the next one to see if that guy had the same idea as you. He most certainly did! He actually made a device that you just slip in. And it was only $12.95. So I went ahead and ordered it. I was thinking maybe over time, the foil pieces would come off, so I felt safer ordering the piece. They have these at keylessfixcom. I ALMOST paid my car dealership $200 for a new remote!! Thank you for the info!
Awesome video.... I would have never guessed it was the buttons worn out. I just bought a cheap replacement remote and swapped the rubber piece out and it worked fine!!
thank you! I also was about to put down some money to replace my fob, and now it works great! I used aluminum foil on mine.
IT WORKED! I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical, but it totally worked! I am so excited! I am definitely no mechanic, and I am definitely technologically challenged. I am just a poor college student that saved myself some money. THANKS FOR THE HELP!!
Thank You - Worked like a charm! Solved months of an annoying situation!
So far so good - Worked for me! Quick and easy fix. Thank you for sharing.
yay I have this problem yesssss now I can fix it myself. Thank you for sharing this will save me time and money.
just got home from the chevy dealership where I spent $75 ...basically $80 for them to Program a remote I got from amazon a few weeks back. the dealership couldn't program my remote and stated my 2010 malibu needed more dagnosis which i declined because we were already at $75 with no repairs. so i come home and decide to jump on youtube to find anything that would help ,while watching this video I finally figure it out and just switch the shell of the new one with the old one and what do you know the frickin thing is working,.. i got my remote start back!! and don't gotta lock the door manually.. thank god cause its almost December and cold as all hell i missed that remote start...now its back, i can do a backflip lol
Thanks for the video, just saved my about $100 bucks or so. I used some of
my copper tape and its working like a charm on both remotes. :)
Thanks alot for the video. Saved me $150 for the fob and $70 for programming from the dealership. Makes me wonder how many of these remotes have been replaced when they could be fixed with one cent wortg of foil.
Thanks so much! Worked perfect! Didn't have to glue them, just put them in the case and it worked!
Worked perfectly! Thanks for saving me some time and some cash for my 2006 Malibu SS!
yes for those who don't know this really does work it works on my remote for my 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix
i literally just did step by step in this video and it worked!! thanks so much.
Worked on my 99 T/a. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you so much for the video! I followed your steps and now my remote works perfectly. You can imagine how excited I was.Also I ended up putting two strips of aluminum on each button just to make sure it made proper contact. Thank you!
Work for me too. Thank!!
Had the same problem as you on my 2012 Malibu remote. You save me money! Thanks again
It really works....fixed for my 2007 Chevy cobalt....thanks
Thanks for the good idea. I have a 2006 Pontiac grand Prix and when I used my key fob to lock my doors it would lock me out of the car and I would have to climb through the trunk just to unlock my doors until I watched ur video thanks a lot now I can unlock my doors using my unlock button.
This worked on my 2009 Malibu. The door locks slowly stopped working, but the trunk and alarm still worked. I was thinking maybe a fuse for the door mechanism was out. Tried this first, worked first time. Even the trunk is opening like it should again. Thanks for posting.
just bought a used grand Prix. the remote were junk, this video helped.
Worked for me on my 2006 Grand Prix Base. Thanks!
2005 G6 Worked for me as well! Thanks Bro!!!
Mine works again!! Thank you!! The dealership was going to try to make 200 off me not today!!
DON'T OVERLOOK THE OBVIOUS.
I was having the same problem. My unlock button was acting very sluggish. I bought new (not used) fob on ebay but I couldn't figure a way to program it.
After watching this video (and a couple others) that explained about the rubber buttons wearing out, I decided to just change rubber button pads between the two (my old one that didn't work and the new one).
I tried the old foil trick, but that didn't work for me for some reason. Switching the pads did the trick. I now have a brand-new working remote entry for my 2008 HHR.
Funny thing is, I took my car to a dealer and asked how much they'd charge to fix it, and maybe they just didn't want to bother checking it out, but they told me I would need new actuators at a cost of $800.
After seeing how cheap it cost to fix ($10.90, buy it now on ebay w/ shipping included), I theorized that this was all the dealer would do - program a new keypad and charge me $800 for it.
Be smart, people - don't overlook the obvious.
@ Dave Speener -- thanks ALSO *** QUESTIONS PLEASE *** Can anyone verify this PROGRAMMIMNG FOB TECHNIQUE from member Omar Awad recently? When does the ignition key go in and what position while holding the 'lock - unlock" buttons for 25 seconds. The dealer wants to charge $45 to program the FOB. You were told $800? !!! Thanks for any input. Also I want to program 2 chip keys HOW? Have a Pontiac 2009 car.
Thanks for this life hack. Fixed two remotes on a 2011 Malibu.
Omg thank you so much for this video... it worked FLAWLESSLY!!! Saved my allot of money!!
Most helpful vid on the topic! Thank you sir
I just did it and it worked! Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for posting, just use this technique to fix my remote
It works. Thank you so much for this video. YES!!!!!!!
Well done helpful to more than a few folks!
Worked like a charm. Thanks. Also cleaned the golden contacts that the black buttons/foil make contact with.
Very helpful video. The audience and the kitty are nice, too LOL. Will try this on my '06 LaCrosse, thanks!
EXACTLY what the problem was. Thanks Bud
Only my panic button. Thanks to you, they all work!
It works! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, it works perfectly for my 2006 Malibu.
Great video. You saved me $90 bucks dealer charge for new one. Wotrks perfectly again with some hole-punched aluminum over each contact. EZ-PZ- Lemon-Squeezy!!
YOU ARE A MONEY SAVER THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WORK FOR MY 2011 CHEVY MALIBU GOD BLESS YOU FOR INFORMATION
Worked great for me as well, thanks!
