2019 Yukon Key Fob Range Blows...What Would You Do?

[Bob2C]

I’m wondering if there was a batch of defective ones. The replacement one is still going strong. Mine was always an issue from day one when new

Just ordered mine to replace. Had great distance on my 15's key fob range but horrible on my 18 and keyless entry hardly works. Stumbled upon this thread and figured I would give it a shot. Cheap part but a pain in the *** to get at with the plastic trim pieces on the pillars and around the headliner. Hope this does the trick. 5 days out on shipping.

It will work. Some of the trim pieces are hard to pull off and sharp.

Is there any documentation as to where this part is located? I have the same issue and I want to replace mine. I can't tell from any of the stuff I have seen online, parts catalogs etc. On the GM bulletin, PIT5665, it looks like it is on the side of the seat? Then I saw the photos and it looks like the rear area in the headliner or...? Thanks!

It’s located under the rear headliner on the passenger side.

How did you say you find the part number for the replacement amp? I have a 2019 SLT and I have to be about 20 for from my Yukon for the remote start to work. It’s hardly work having a remote start.

Rockauto has them. They are listed as "antenna amplifier". There are 4 listed for your vehicle. The best way is to remove the old one and check the part number.. Its listed right on the top. GMC > 2019 > YUKON > 5.3L V8 > Interior > Antenna Amplifier
