About 6-7 months ago my truck started locking and unlocking the doors on the way into work. SOme research suggested a bad battery in the keyfob. I swapped the battery and it was fixed....for a while. A couple days ago I went to an HOA meeting and got out and hit the lock button and it unlocked. The next few times I hit lock it did the same thing. Then it finally locked. I assumed it was ok. The next morning on my way to work it was constantly unlocking the doors. I removed the battery when I got to the parking lot and locked the truck. When I removed the battery, I touched it to the contacts a few times and it unlocked the truck each time. So I tried a new battery when I got home and it was still unlocking the truck without any keys being pressed. It appears that I need a keyfob. I'm finding what look like crappy ones on amazon and the online dealers seem to want over $200. I need to check with my local dealer and see what they charge.

Also, if I find one, is there a way to program them without paying the dealer to do so?

I have a 2015 Silverado, and was told when I bought the truck that replacement Key Fobs and "Working" keys are a "Dealer" only item. Prior to 2015 apparently all you needed was a working key and fob, and the truck/car would take care of it. I would think by now, as long as you can prove you actually own the Vehicle in question...you might be able to find a Locksmith that has the necessary equipment to do it. I had an 08 Cobalt...POS car. 1 key. I found a local locksmith that made me a second key for $50....dealer wanted $100.
