    No battery is fine only replaced 6 months ago with a sealed battery,the dash security lights are still flashing.
    Might try get my hand up through the engine bay and disconnect the battery for a while?

    No unfortunately any other suggestions might just have to go get a new key cut and programed?

    use the key turn it to unlock with a bit of force and you should feel and hear a slight click
    the door will be unlocked but the button will not pop up
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    I have been told that if you turn the key and hold it for 10 - 20 seconds it will ovverride the system and let you in.. give it a go, when this happened to me my window was down, thank god

    have been trying guys but still no luck...i get a sound clicking when i turn the key to the left but sounds like just locking the door,i get no sound when i turn to the right however if i hold heaps of pressure well turning to the right feels like the door handel gets a bit stuck when i try to pull it?
    Is this manually over riding the actuator or still working it electronically?
    Any other hints/tips or another procedure i should use for the door lock ?
    Thanks guys!

    Next thing i will try tomorrow is disconnecting the battery for a while total discharging the security system(hopefully) then trying the key in the lock trick!

    damn well it sure is! il give it another crack so it should just turn all of a sudden to the 90 degrees mark after a hell lot of pressure then pull the door handle as well as turning and holding force.Turning clock'wise correct(double check)?
    Thanks mate!

    Once it goes 90 degrees it will be unlocked then you pull handle. Not both at once.

    Try this:
    Press LOCK twice, to deadlock.
    Press UNLOCK twice, to free deadlock.
    You can also manually deadlock by turning key fully left.
    Check through OPTIONS that two-stage lock is not engaged and interfering.
    Forcing the bonnet without using the release inside the car will trigger the alarm response.
