Spent the night sweating my marbles off in the garage trying to program that key, stupid GM and their turn the key and wait ten minutes to hear a beep. Low and behold after 2 attempts and much more than 20 minutes I had to give up defeated assuming that the battery is dead in the new fob. Contacted the Ebay seller, he originally said he could refund me or send me a new one. I ask for a replacement and now he has to wait to get a new shipment likely next week
What year make and model are you working on and are you program the key or the fob. I was a service manager at gm for 10 years I might be able to help

Appreciate the thought, don't think there would be much to do anyway since it is probably a dead battery

You could go to o'Reilly I think they have a fob tester. That would tell you if battery was good and if fob sending out signal. I think those use a watch battery that is pretty easy to change

Most dealers keep a RF meter in the service drive thru and test fobs all day long.

Actually not easy to change the battery, they are soldered on both sides. After some research I am going to make sure that the door was fully shut and try again to see if that is why there is no beeping

Tooned (turned VATS, some tq. mgmt, and fixed the speedometer) a coworkers LS square long bed. 83 former diesel, now 4.8/60e.

I'm super impressed, he had never done an engine swap before and started last fall. He asked how to do wiring, I said I have HP tuners and he just needs to spend time on LT1 Swap, he did all his own research and work. It's cleaner than anything I have built for sure! Haha

Square people have it EASY, apparently they make LS swap specific exhaust, crossmembers, ECM brackets, use DBW pedals out of a 95ish diesel 2500, all sorts of nice stuff that just bolts in. Makes us G body LS swappers feel inadequate!
