Not sure if this belongs here or not.... My keyless entry doesn't work...probably a dead battery...when you replace the battery does it require going to the dealer and having it programmed again?  |

Nope. Just replace the battery, and you're good!
FWIW, the fobs aren't actually reprogrammed, the car is, lol!

If it's not the battery, you may want to look at a Dorman 13745 replacement fob. It's an OE type remote and it comes with a programmer! No more trips to the dealer for programming, haha!

I've seen them in parts stores for around $70-75, and around $55-60 online, shipping NOT included...

...Can you program multiple vehicles? Technically, yes. As long as the vehicle is a 2001+ Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Bonneville, or Olds Aurora, haha! FWIW, you can set up multiple remotes for the same vehicle... |
