Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / February 200593 Help...PKE Stopped Working
It warmed up earlier this week so I washed my Vette. I didn't notice it for a couple of days, then it hit me, no honk when I walk away from the car. The button on the key fob works, the button in the car works, just not the automatic lock when I move away from the car. So, what could have happened? How do I get it working? Thanks,  SignatureTom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau You might have accidentally turned the automatic function off. To cycle between on and off, hold the door button down continuously until the lock cycle. > It warmed up earlier this week so I washed my Vette.

Thanks, SignatureTom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau i thought that too. my pke stopped working. replaced the battery. worked for a month or so. took it apart, bent the prongs that contact the battery to the circuit out a little, reinserted the battery, and it works now. does the arming sequence (insert key, turn to on but don't start, hold door open button down) do anything? try another remote to see if it's a remote problem. on my wife's 96, we wound up replacing the pke module, which is buried behind the dash, and a door servo. cost about 1200 a few years ago. > As Charles Spitzer stated so eloquently: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks, As Charles Spitzer stated so eloquently: > i thought that too. my pke stopped working. replaced the battery. > worked for a month or so. took it apart, bent the prongs that contact > the battery to the circuit out a little, reinserted the battery, and If the battery wasn't in right or it was dead, it wouldn't open the hatch or unlock the doors, but it does. > does the arming sequence (insert key, turn to on but don't start, hold > door open button down) do anything? try another remote to see if it's > a remote problem. on my wife's 96, we wound up replacing the pke > module, which is buried behind the dash, and a door servo. cost about > 1200 a few years ago. I tried this and nothing happened. I held the button almost a minute, still nothing. Does that mean the PKE unit has gone bad??? SignatureTom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau > I tried this and nothing happened. I held the button almost a minute, still > nothing. Does that mean the PKE unit has gone bad??? I've had problems with my '93 after washing. The antenna for the PKE is in the drivers door. I had a damaged weather strip on that door, and after washing, the PKE would not work for several hours. It eventually dried out, and started working again. I replaced the weather strip, and haven't had any problems since. Hope this helps.... Regards, Jim As Jim Henry stated so eloquently: >> I tried this and nothing happened.

As I recall, it stopped working right after a wash. It's been 5 days though, should have dried by now. :( SignatureTom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau > As Charles Spitzer stated so eloquently: > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > still > nothing. Does that mean the PKE unit has gone bad??? well, i'd try another remote first to try to narrow it down. |
