  1. Assuming you have a good battery, make sure the battery connector in the keyfob is solid. I have a 2003 Malibu, and the solder weld on one of my fobs broke.

  2. I soldered it yesterday back on. I have to press really hard to even get the trunk to open but i would buy another remote but would like to find out if i could program it or have to take to a dealer to have them do it before i buy

  3. I own a 2008 Malibu and bought a second keyless entry key fob. Before I found it with the Malibu it has to be done by the dealer.

  4. He's right, you are going to have to take it back to the dealer. It is kind of a pain, but at least you'll be able to get it repaired. I have been learning a lot about car repairs recently. I have found that it is usually best to just take it to a professional though. http://www.evansauto.com/repair
