2001 Buick Century Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Out in the ranch land east of Ventura, an estate caretaker was parked at a gravel access gate with a 2001 Buick Century and a fob that had fully quit. Not weak, not intermittent. Done. He was 30 minutes from the nearest parts store and further than that from any dealer. No flatbed was going to enjoy that road.
He dropped me a pin. I loaded up for the Century and drove out.
When I got there, the car itself was fine. Started right up with the key blade. The fob was the problem, and when I cracked it open, the battery contact had a slight corrosion bloom on it. CR2032 was still reading voltage but the contact wasn't delivering it cleanly. Swapped the battery, cleaned the contact points, then ran the programming sequence to make sure the remote was properly enrolled.
The part that matters on these older GM remotes: if there are multiple fobs tied to the car, the sequence has to capture all of them at once. Miss one in the cycle and it falls out of memory. I walked him through holding onto both fobs while I ran the procedure so nothing got orphaned.
Locked, unlocked, third button tested. Working at the gate, gravel road, no shop involved.
He mentioned he had called a dealer first. They wanted him to tow the car to them. That alone would have cost more than my whole job, and they were talking days out for an appointment on top of it.
