2014 key fob only works inside or on top of car

Post by Bill.kurman »

Recently bought a 14 it came with a remote start fob which didn’t work ordered a new one my buddy did a relearn with a tech 2 and it works just only when inside the car or directly on top of the outside of the car I’ve done a little research and it seems to be two antenna part numbers one of which is a long range but don’t have a clear location on where it is and I wonder if it got damaged in decommissioning

What I found with my 2014 is that the FOB signal receiver is located in the passenger side C-pillar area. The antenna is built into the glass of the rear window. The radio antenna amplifier / K46 radio antenna module (GM 92262676) has a short window antenna connection wire that snaps onto the button connector on the rear window. On the bottom side of the module, there is a coax cable that plugs into the receiver that runs down the C-pillar and connects to the K77 remote control door lock receiver.

It looks like the K77 module then connects to the BCM via four wire that run to the front passenger side footwell area.

No doubt; and finding that explains the issue. Big time Thanks to both y'all for this educational topic.
