After dealing with this issue for a while it was time to fix both. The key fobs or remotes for the GMC Yukon just wear out over time. They also don't have the range they once had. Replacing the key for or remote on the Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado or Sierra is an easy process and today I will show you how to program them. These are cheap and easy to replace. The other annoying issue is something that happens to those who have the Electronic HVAC controls. On cold mornings the knob that controls the ac does not respond. When you try to turn up the temperature it goes the opposite way. Sometimes it is not responsive at all. This is common and really annoying on cold mornings. This is a simple fix as well. The contacts get dirt and dust in them over the years and need to be cleaned. Once you clean them they will work like new again. This AC control fix will be the same for all digital controls for Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado and Sierra.

I have the same problem with my caddy now with the heat. Thank you for showing how to fix it.
You're welcome. It gets annoying
I literally just went outside to try it on my tahoe... worked like a charm! I appreciate it
Glad I could help
Two great quick fixes!!! I just finished replacing the two key fob outer shells on my 2000 Chevy Silverado, reused the original little circuit boards. Was like $10.00 for both shells.. ✌
Thank you. Yeah little things like this drive me crazy.
I bought shells and they didn’t help, guess I just gotta get the circuits
@@AOAvina try taking a pencil eraser and lightly clean the circuit board and fresh batteries
May need to be cleaned
@@markb3129 good idea, I cleaned both the contacts points and the pads with alcohol and no luck
I went back and forth deciding which fobs to get for my 1500hd here recently. Didn’t have any at all when I got it. I bought some cheap original style from Amazon and I absolutely could not get them to program. And they did have batteries. I threw them into the void of my back alley. Then ordered Genuine GM ones and they worked with the quickness. I have the boost ones for my SS and they worked fine as well.
That's wild. These were cheap amazon ones and worked great.
I have the same issue with my 05 Yukon.. I usually set it to the defrost position and it goes to 90 degrees automatically. Great video.
Thank you. Yeah its very common
Gotta give this a try. I always would move the dial one click at a time and it worked a lot better than trying to spin the knob quickly.
I have done that too. Then one click moves 20 degrees. Lol
@@TWAMotorsports Straight up. LOL
Thank you for sharing. I'm going to try the electronics cleaner technique.
Hopefully it fixes yours. Always has for me.
I thought nobody else had this problem! Thanks!
Very common
Thanks! You just saved me a hefty bill for the dealer to do it!
Glad I could help
Big thanks, my key fob is reaaaady 😊
Glad it helped
This suggested video was on point for me. Ive just been slowly turning the heat up in the opposite direction for like 5 years. lol And i have the same keyfob to and i also need to reset it cause its actually randomly activates my ac. Just a tip if your having a problem with the keyfob and a button not working you can just open it take the battery out and then clean the corrosion off the circuit board. just need a q tip and some alcohol. for awhile i was bothered by it not unlocking sometimes. The way i found that out was because i looked up why one of my windows wouldnt roll down. so i was thinking that may be why my button on the fob wasnt eiter. It was filthy so i cleaned it and problem solved
Man I wish I knew about this about 5 years ago on my old Tahoe I went years without keyless entry because my fob quit working but good to know anyway, thanks. Btw that is a good looking Yukon, love those wheels against the silver color!
Thank you. I really am looking at other wheels but we will see.
That AC fix is a huge help.. Mines been doing this, very annoying.
It is very annoying
Just recently bought a 2004 Denali! Your content is AMAZING!!! Glad I found you channel and hit subscribed!!!
Thank you for watching and subscribing
Both fixes worked on my 2004 Yukon. Thanks!
Nice
that is definitely annoying when your temp fights you hahah.
Very. Lol
The Boost Auto is also $40. I've had mine for years now and the chrome has faded a bit. But I'm not complaining. It still works
Yeah they look like a decent parts. These were like $18 for 2
I bought the ten buck chucks and they work awesome. I wanted that charger pad till I saw the price... I’m a simple man. I actually had the same problem with my suburbans climate control, I love my simple 03 Silverado so much better, barely any problems.
Thanks bud
🍻
Yeah. Definitely worth the $10. I agree. Manual doesn't seem to have issues
I just keep adding things (fob’s) to my Amazon list. Just in case I need new ones. Thanks Travis
Lol
Your killing me bro
Sorry
The reason the temp control acts up like that is because the blower motor resistor is getting old or the blower motor itself another good way to fix that to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes that way when you reconnect everything the computer recalibrates everything it'll start back working fine ......I have a 2003 Yukon Denali with 314000 miles had it for 3yr now lol
I have had the resistor go bad in the past with the unit in dash working fine. This fixed my issue
Great video Travis. I’ve been wondering how to fix my heater control without removing it. I figure it’s to copper contacts on the boards but haven’t gotten around to taking it apart
Thank you. Yeah. Easy fix
Thanks for the tip on programming the fob, What brand and size tires do you have on the vehicle.
All parts listed in video description
Hell yeah the OG key fobs is the way to go!
I agree. Fits the era
I've got the Boost Auto fob and I'll knock it. They are not worth the asking price. When it arrived I was surprised at the lack of quality feel. Feels like something I could have bought from Amazon or Aliexpress for a fraction of the price and function exactly the same. For $50 I did not expect it to feel so cheap.
I have heard that but never trued one. Just didn't like the size
If you change out your AC controls make sure you get the OEM brand. I had bad luck with a Chinese brand from the auto parts store
Definitely will. Thank you
Hey bro haven't seen your vids for along time,nice to see you back
I never atopped.
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
Thank you. More to come
Great looking truck had the exact same one almost put 400,000 on how to put it to rest
Thats a good run
Nice '71 C/10. More my speed. I've had a '68 C/10 Stepside since 1973 and a '71 K/1500 Jimmy since 1995. I understand them completely. But I just bought a 2003 C/1500 Tahoe, and the 8-Button drivers door switch is driving me nuts. No key fob came with the deal. But can't get new ones til I have solid switches in both front doors.
Thank you. Its a 72
@@TWAMotorsports OK. The only exterior style difference between the '71 and the '72 was the Rear View Mirror Mount. MY ;71 they were mounted on the windshield frame. MY '72 glued to the windshield. I didn't see the glue mount, so I guessed '71.Interior, the door panels and handles changed.
@HootOwl513 interesting. Always wondered what the differences were
Man your truck is clean
Thank you but way more to come.
Love the content by the way
Thank you
that deoxit on the heater control knobs wont work all or or not for long... I sent my whole unit in for service somewhere... I had to send it back 2 more times and the last time I told them to replace the rheostats and not just spray shite in there. its is starting to act up a bity after 8 years but not to bad.
Mine lasted after this
How do you get the keyless entry into programming mode ??? It will not program The key fob ?? Link ??
Same problem, no answer to be found !
All doors closed, keuly in ignition, hold down driver side unlock, rotate key to acc then off twice, locks should cycle, release unlock and you are in program mode
The driver's side mirror was moving as well, when the seat was moving.
Yeah. Set for someone short. Lol
Mine does that to. But it has several lights out too. So I might just put In a new one.
Yeah this will fix the up down but not the lights
I got a 06 Yukon Denali My 2 rear doors don't lock or unlocked , also my hunchback doors don't do it either, ????
Actuators are bad or unplugged
I need to find the billet grill bumper and valance billet pieces for my 04 Sierra crew cab
I may be removing mine eventually
You should do a Cadillac escalade speedo on it they're really hard to find
I really just want to sell it. Lol
I have a 2018 Sierra and hate the new key fob! I wonder if boost makes one to go backwards and get the old fob instead? The New fob is too big and bulky.
Lol. I don't think so.
what year is your tahoe because i like your a/c control panel
2004 but you can't just swap those
Is it possible to change ac controls that are manual to digital both being dual climate? Great videos keep up the good work.
No it isn't
Have you ever had the radio screen go into a menu mode and not allow any programming. It will at some point reset. It effects the unit screen and the dash screen.Sorry for got to say, this is on a 2016 GMC Serra Thanks
I haven't had that issue
I have a problem with my 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe I bought new key fob remote and I program them my remote and the remote have news battery’s and All that but the lock button works and the unlocked button don’t work and I don’t know what’s wrong with it.
May be bad
No action holding both buttons.. tried three remotes ! What now ??
Sometimes it takes a few minutes
Do you have any suggestions about lack of heat in the front and back or sometimes takes a long time to heat up?
I don't. Sorry
If your truck in general is taking a long time to heat up it could be the thermostat stuck open. Feel both the hoses going into the heater core under the hood if ones way hotter then the other there's a blockage
So, I had 2 fobs, that have worked for months, no issues. Got a 3rd that was an old one that was lost. Programed all 3 fobs and the 2 newer ones don't unlock the doors and the old one does. Tried resetting the fobs, new batteries in all 3. The newer ones still don't unlock the doors. Any idea why that could be happening?
No never had that issue
@@TWAMotorsports Any recommendations on fixing it?
@erock347 unplug battery for 10 minutes and then reprogram all three
@@TWAMotorsports No luck... Took batteries out of the fobs as well. Still does the same thing. It's a '04 GMC Yukon Denali, don't know if that changes anything... 😩
That's weird
And if that don't work after 5 tines? Thank you!
Bcm may be bad
@@TWAMotorsports Thank you!🙏
You're welcome
Nice video Travis on climate control issues fix...👍
Thank you Keith
I a question i have a 04 yukon and for the life of me i can not find good door panels for it if you know where i can find them that would be a big help THANKS IN ADVANCE
Facebook marketplace part out. No way to get new ones.
I couldn't get mine done
Bummer
Hey Travis. Is that process still the same on my 09 Tahoe? I need new key fabs, so I was curious. Thanks bud
Unfortunately no
@@TWAMotorsports is it a more tedious process?
Requires gm programming
Good video but what year is the Yukon?
Thank you. 2004
I programed my new remotes but 1 of them only unlocks the driver side and not the rest of the doors when pressing the unlock button 2 or 3 times. Does anyone have this problem, if so how do I fix it. I also re programed them and its the same thing.
May be a bad fob
Go into the DIC and I think Driver 1 & 2 fobs can have different door lock settings.
I’ve had my Tahoe for a little over a year and have been wondering how to fix the temp control. So annoying!
It is really annoying egen you are freezing. Lol
What if the new key fob won’t program?
May have a bcm issue
Check your grounds.
Hey i have a 2005 denali and i bought a remote but its juse locks , dosent unlocks ? Whats the problem please
Try programming again
@@TWAMotorsports tried,same
@@TWAMotorsports does the center lock has to be fixed or the remote ? i mean “its from the car or the remote”
No idea. Could have bad bcm
@@TWAMotorsports Thx ❤️❤️
My truck won't go into program mode.. when I cycle my key twice, it makes a noise but doesn't lock & unlock.. been trying to figure this out for awhile now.. has this ever happened to you?????
And I had a fob that previously worked, but got 2 new ones and can't get them to work lol..
If the bcm is bad
That's weird
@@TWAMotorsports I'll have to check that out.. I have had some electrical issues wit my truck..
Pretty common to have issues as it ages
Ware can I find your grill
Gm directly
What if the door lock and unlock don’t work. I have a 2000 tahoe
Lock actuator is possibly bad
@@TWAMotorsports did you do a video on how to replace those?????
No
@@TWAMotorsports do you have a video showing how to take the door panels off????
Can you link the guy that does the dash stuff please
He posted in the comments
Do you think 22’s with a 285/35R22 would fit? I have an 05 Denali.
I would think so
@@TWAMotorsports I just noticed you did 20’s on both the Tahoes and it looks like there’s enough clearance for 22’s if you didn’t drop it
Definitely enough room
@@TWAMotorsports I don’t really want to drop it because of the rear air suspension. I don’t want to remove it and have a bunch of warning lights pop on
Understand that
Great video
Thank you Daniel
Waht about if not working 😢. Try 20 times nothing happen
Bad remotes? Hard to say
Has anyone ever had a problem with the fobs not programming ? Bought two won’t program bought new batteries and still nothing. Anyone got any ideas or tips ?
They take a while but never had an issue
Check the grounds. Weak ground can cause many problems and common on the GMT 800.
@jefffrayer8238 definitely could be the issue
The driver 1/ driver 2 crap never worked right for me. My mirrors would go to the dirt and keep going.
Yeah I got it programmed at least.
I seen the trans am in the back round saying to myself wtf Is that car still there
May see in a couple others. Film several videos at once. Lol
Those GM digital climate control's are known for the potentiometer issue.
Sometimes they have to be replaced entirely.
I agree. I'm sure you see a lot of them.
@@TWAMotorsports I'd say about 90% of the ones sent in for a LED conversion, have that issue.
I bet so.
Who's we?? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
Must
@@TWAMotorsports You put out a great video by the way, quick and easy. Thanks
Thank you
A ten minute video isn’t quick
Guess not
1
👍👐
Think my comment keeps being removed by CZcams
It hates comments that have links. I use remotesremotes for my OEM fobs amazing and affordable. Never thought to use that for my hvac
If you have the info on led dash exchange upgrade let me know
This one is here
Yeah you can't post links in comments
Guy posted in comments on gauge replacement
Whatever you do don't follow these instructions this dirty sob will cause you to decode and your key fob will not
Worked for me.
