The 2001 Chevy Malibu features a 3.1 liter V6 engine offering 170 horsepower. The Malibu has two airbags, anti lock brakes, child safety locks on the rear doors as standard.
To program the keyless entry remote on a Chevy Malibu, close all doors and put the key in the ignition. Hold down the power unlock button on the door while turning your key to on and off twice. Then release the power unlock button on the door.
There is a switch for that. It is in the dash illumination brightness control switch.
If your current key has a "+" stamped on it then it will be around $50.00 for one that will allow you to start the vehicle, and $8.00 for one that just allows you to open the doors.
To program a key fob for a 2009 Chevy Malibu, sit in the driver's side front will all the doors closed. Hold down the unlock button for the doors, then insert the key into ignition and turn to on. Release the door lock. Then press the key fob unlock and lock buttons, alternating between the two buttons for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition to run when the door unlocks automatically.
yes they are
I had this problem with my doors a couple years back. Because the doors are so heavy, they sag as the car ages. You should take it to a mechanic and have them bring the doors back up to their original place.
Yes, the doors from a 98 Chevy Blazer will fit a 2001 Chevy Blazer with a little moderation.
I've had this problem under warranty on my '05 Malibu LS. They replaced and reprogrammed the fobs. Looking in my shop manual, it seems the problem is from the content theft deterrent (CTD) system. My car started doing this two years later off warranty and now I just lock the doors from the outside with the key or by pushing the lock stem buttons by hand on each door. The security option in the DIC needs to be set to RKE for this to work though.
