QuestionI have a 97 Seville SLS, purchased two remotes on E-Bay, got numbers from my repair manual, go through the steps in the manual, but not working still, took the remotes to Radio Shack and they are sending the RF signal.
were do I get help?
Thanks Steve!
AnswerHi Steve,
This is a common problem when buying universal stuff from E-bay. I would have thought they would have had a tech line you could have contacted from whoever sold you the remotes.
Since I do not know if you have the appropriate transmitters to work your system without seeing the vehicle, I will make a few suggestions that may help you.
First go to an after market alarm store and inquire as to how much it will cost to program them. Since you did not purchase from them, there will most likely be a fee, but they may be able to help you.
If in fact, the remote transmitters can't be programmed there, find a GM mechanic at any GM dealer, see if you can buy him a cup of coffee or give him a tip on the side and he may be able to program for you.
A six pack can go a long way as well---
There is also the possibility that what you bought from E-bay won't be compatible as well. I have seen this before.
The only way your are going to know is have the vehicle physically checked by people that do this for a living.
If the remotes are not compatible, it is possible the aftermarket alarm store can sell you remotes that are compatible.
Good luck!
Rob
