Oldsmobile/Buick Repair: Remote key & Car not working, olds aurora, car doors

Question
Hi,

I replaced the batteries in my 1996 Olds Aurora remote key device when it would not open the car doors.  It still did not work with the new batteries.  I tried manually opening the car & then trying to start it.  It did not turn over at all - just nothing.  Is there something simple that we need to do? Or do I need to have it towed & get some computer equipment replaced?

Thanks for any advice!
Kim

Answer
If NOTHING works on any of the remotes, Even the trunk release you may need to have the system resynchronized. check your operators manual for this procedure under BATTERY REPLACEMENT.


OR you may have to have the key reprogrammed of which can only be done using special equipment via the dealer.
