For Factory Keyless Entry Systems (Most Likely): You'll likely need to reprogram the remotes. This usually involves a specific sequence of steps using the ignition key and the lock/unlock buttons on the remotes. Unfortunately, the exact procedure varies significantly depending on the year of your S-10.
To find the correct procedure, you need to:
1. Identify your S-10's year: This is crucial. The procedure changes from year to year.
2. Find your owner's manual: This is your best bet. It should have instructions specific to your truck's keyless entry system.
3. Search online: Search for "[Your S-10 Year] Chevy S-10 keyless entry reprogramming" on Google, YouTube, or a car forum like ChevyTalk. You'll likely find videos or detailed written instructions.
If you cannot find instructions and you suspect a problem beyond simple reprogramming:
* Check your truck's fuses: A blown fuse could be the culprit. Consult your owner's manual for fuse box locations and diagrams.
* Consider a dealership or locksmith: If you've exhausted all other options, a dealership or a locksmith specializing in automotive electronics can diagnose and repair the problem. They have the tools and expertise to handle more complex issues.
Important Note: Aftermarket keyless entry systems have their own unique programming methods. If your system wasn't installed at the factory, you'll need to find instructions specific to the brand and model of your aftermarket system. The installation paperwork should help.
