Default Keyless entry inop.

Hey guys, I know that this isn't blazer related, that's why it's in this forum. Anyway, I have a 1998 Camaro Base coupe that is having issues with the keyless. First, I'd just have to hold the button down for a long time, and it seemed sluggish when it finally did work. I reprogrammed both remotes, and that helped. Now, it's completely inop. I was wondering if one of you GM techs knew how difficult it is to replace the reciever in the car; because, that's where i think i'm at with it. Maybe a little advice? Thanks guys.

can't help with your specific vehicle but replacing the receiver is pretty easy in my truck (94 s-10 blazer) the receiver is directly under the center console remove 4 screws pull the inside of the console and the receiver is right there just unplug the wire harness and it pulls right out.

edit:
bah almost forgot if you do have to replace this make sure the fcc id# on it matches your remotes or it will not work.

HaHa. yeah, I was a tech at Honda for a couple of years and that was the common fix for keyless problems... Replace the batteries. haha I did that before I reprogrammed them. I just can't seem to find much info online to help me, and the dealer gives me the standard "bring it in and give us $90 to diag. your problem." thanks guys.
