How’d you manage to get the old logo off? Can you describe how you did? I’ve tried prying mine off but it doesn’t want to budge. Also tried heating it but stopped because I didn’t want to warp the plastic. Still didn’t seem to make much of a difference?

Oh ok - with a flat head? Did you just pry from the edge of the logo?

Nevermind, a tiny flathead screw driver (prying from/into the edge of the stock logo) as recommend got it off.

Glad I saw this.
My fob has not been working or it takes the strength of pissed off silverback to unlock the doors.
I don't have any bells or whistles on my 07 Tahoe. Mine has only 4 buttons, Lock, unlock, rear window release and alarm.
Is it not worth getting an OEM fob?
Do they make any fancy 4 button fobs?
This one seems to be the popular choice.

Clean it it's not broken...


I cleaned my tonight and it WORKS like brand new.


rubbing alcohol
qtips
and tissue paper


DONT pour the alcohol on the FOB put it on the qtip or tissue paper..


there was sticky goo on it ( corn syrup )


Works PERFECTLY now

Don't try and clean the side with the Chips on it you may damage them.... only the side with the carbon pads as well as the rubber thing

A pencil eraser works good as well if you need a quick fix and don't have alcohol handy.

Cleaned one of my fobs. I was shocked at how much condensation was inside of it.
I rubbed it down with some alcohol and let it dry for a bit. Works great now.

Now the only problem is, its so damn old that some of the plastic seal crumbled and I have to use some electrical tape to hold it together now but, it works

I'll do the same to my spare this weekend.
