ok i took my truck to the football game last night and halftime i walked back to it and tried to pop my passenger side door(i have shaved door handles and aux+unlock opens my pas. door) anyway i mustve accidentally pressed the program button or something and it started beeping, well then the truck started. i waited for it to get out of program mode(the two beeps) and then I shut my truck off(with my remote standing outside the truck), well after that everytime I pushed unlock, lock, aux, anything.. it said it wasnt getting a signal and nothing would respond. well today i started messing with it and I tried reprogramming the remote and it says the LED was supposed to blink but it didnt. so i started messing with it some more and out of nowhere it comes back on and the alarm goes off, well i unlock it and pop the doors to see if aux functions and everything else still worked, well it happened to only come back on for that 20-30 seconds before its back how it was...not respoding to anything.
please help. im so appreciative of any comments that will help me!!
i checked all the power wires to make sure it wasnt that, is there anything I can do?! somehow reset everything?

Sounds like a typical broken responder remote.
2 courses of action:
1) If still under warranty, take to dealer that installed it, get a new remote.
2) If you put it in, then you have no warranty, so fire up the soldering iron, pull the remote apart, and resolder the connectors for the daughter board, as they have cracked and become intermittant. We fix at least a couple of these POS a week. Usually once soldered, and a piece of foam tape is installed on the back of the daughter board to keep it from moving, they are pretty good. Not too badly designed, but could be a lot better.

You will see 2 circuit boards in there. One has the buttons, and the other is the smaller "daughter" board. Pull the daughter board off the main carefully. Now, look at the little solder pads that connect the black 3 pin and 5 pin connectors to the board. Usually, the solder has cracked on them. (tiny, very tiny)
I don't happen to have my camera at work, so I can't toss a pic up here.
