if you purchased a new remote only then you have to have one that worked with truck first otherwise it needs to be programmed to the vehicle unless this is an aftermarket unit if it is then take it back to where it was installed.

then you'll have to have it programmed to your vehicle. check with a garage they may be able to do it otherwise you'll need to go to dealer and they will charge at least $100
