I just got a '99 silverado and don't know much about it. This morning I was washing it and unlocked the door with the key. All of the lights on the dash started flashing (the security light as well) and I figured starting it would fix the problem, but the engine wouldn't start. I just put a new battery in the unlock/lock remote but it's not working. I'm not sure what to do, and I'm starting to get very frustrated. I need some help guys!

thanks,

Is this a factory alarm system? or an aftermarket unit ???
Theoretically the alarm should be disabled once you put the key in the ignition and turn the power on.

 

it's factory. and yea that's what i thought as well. i know a few guys who are pretty good with trucks and that's what they've been saying too.

 

i guess there was a trick to it? i held down the lock button for a few seconds and then tried it and it flipped right over! thank you for your help!

 

Try a V.A.T.S. relearn. Key on for 11 min key off for 30 sec. Do this 3 times and if dont work, try it again but try to start it every key on.

 

Nevermind I seen you got it fixed my bad.
