Hold preset buttons 2&3 and 1&4 for approx. 10 whole seconds.
The HU displays LOC, and a 3-digit code. Write this down.
Remove the key from the ignition slot and take the code to radio-code.com. They'll help you from here.
How can i tell if its the battery or starter thats bad
use a voltmeter to check voltage. battery voltage when off, should be at least 12.6 or better at battery. if less than 12.4 replace battery. when car is running, voltage at battery should be at least. 13.8 to 14.2 or better. if alternator is good and charging. Do you just hear a click, when trying to start car! the click you hear is from the solinoid for the starter. meaning that not enough voltage to turn over starter. if voltage is ok! then check starter. Good-Day! check voltage at battery. for above.
How do you make the computer relearn the system?
To reset the computer, disconnect the negative battery cable and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Most all codes will clear. Connecting the battery cable again and the computer will begin re-learning the system automatically. I've heard that some hard-set codes may stay in the system and need cleared using a code scanner but, I've not actually come across this before as disconnecting the battery cable has always worked for me.
Why front end is making scratchy noise?
If the sound disappears while applying the brakes, it is very likely the wear tabs on your brake pads. The pads may have worn into the rotors requiring their replacement too. You will not know until someone examines them during the brake inspection.
Window won't roll up or down
It is likely either a window switch, or the window track and regulator causing the issue. It might be the window motor, but most often it is either the regulator and window track causing the issue. You could try jumping the switch to see if it activates the motor, but my money is on the regulator/window needing replacement.
How does the 1999 Tahoe tailgate open?
The right side can be unlocked with the key, once opened, the left side can be opened. Mine, the left side requires me to push in slightly while ensuring the release handle is pulled to it's furthest point before it will unlatch. If the electrical contacts at the door frame are dirty, the door may not unlock when pushing the button up front thus requiring the key to be used in the rear door. If this is not the solution, the latch rods inside the door need adjusted which requires some mechanical expertise.
