2004 Chevrolet Suburban Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy from Downtown Ojai flew out for work, left his 2004 Suburban in the economy lot, and came back four days later to a completely dead fob. Pressed lock, pressed unlock, nothing. The doors were shut tight. He had his metal key on him, so he got in and got the engine running, but the fob was useless and he had a long drive home with no working remote.

He called the dealer first. Two days out for an appointment, and they told him he'd need to leave the truck. He wasn't leaving it anywhere. He found EZ Car Keyz and called me instead.

I drove out to him. The fob battery was completely dead -- not low, dead. CR2032 showing almost no voltage. I swapped it out on the spot, then ran a resync because a fully drained battery on these older GM fobs will sometimes drop the pairing. Tested all three buttons, checked range from across the lot, confirmed lock and unlock were hitting the doors clean.

The whole visit was maybe 25 minutes. He'd already burned more time than that waiting on hold with the dealer. He drove home the same afternoon, remote working the way it should, and paid a fraction of what the dealer had quoted just to look at it.

He mentioned on the way out that he'd had the truck since it was new. That's twenty years on one Suburban. Ojai guys hold onto their rigs.
