Hello everyone, my name is Brian, and I'm new to the site. I have a 2001 Tahoe that was stolen and they ripped apart my ignition. After I put a new ignition in when I pull the key out the doors don't unlock anymore can anyone tell me what it is that triggers the actuators to unlock the doors?

If I remember correctly on the 00-02 trucks there is a sequence with the lock button that you should be able to google to set up the auto lock and unlock feature. I remember doing something with it on my 00 tahoe when I had to reprogram my new key fobs

likely need to be reprogrammed, if you have your owners manual im sure it tells you exactly how to do it.

if not search your year make and model on google, there out there for free in pfd form. ive found one for all my cars, its actually easier to navigate and see cause you can zoom in and click on chapters and get taken right to them.

read the manual. it should be in there. you can make the locks lock when you put it in gear, or after you start to move. same deal for when you park .
