Rear Hatch lock

[XBrooklyn13]

Hi..New Member here. I have a 2006 Tahoe 2WD base model. The rear hatch will not lock. I have secured a replacement assembly and will install it soon. The truck was purchased with no remotes. I bought 2 on E Bay and they will not program using the instructions on U Tube. Can the bad hatch lock be the cause of it not programming? Thanks for any help.

It's doubtful that the lock would cause a programming issue. The lock just sits there until it gets a command to lock or unlock. While you have it opened up, you should check for voltage going to the lock while a helper hits the power lock switch. If you're not getting voltage, a new lock won't help.

Did you get the correct fobs? Talking about the correct FCC numbers on the back of the fob case.

You can take the truck and the 2 fobs to your local locksmith, and for about $30, they will program the fobs for you.

I did not receive any remotes with the truck. I checked with an E Bay seller who advised me they would work.

Does he have good reviews? Not all sellers are trustworthy. You have to get a specific FCC number for the fobs to work for your vehicle. I think i read on the forum the passenger side window control--that whole setup--has something to do with syncing the fobs yo the truck--not positive tho. I think @Doubeleive has some knowledge on this subject.
