The truck will need to go to the GM dealer so they can reprogram the passenger door module (the window switch assembly is the door module and also controls the remote function actuation). Here is the applicable bulletin from GM.

#03-08-52-001C: Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Inoperative (Reprogram Passenger Door Module) - (Mar 17, 2003)

Subject:Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Inoperative (Reprogram Passenger Door Module)

This bulletin is being revised to provide the latest service information. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 03-08-52-001B (Section 08 -- Body and Accessories).


Condition

Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:

• The RKE key fob does not function.
• The RKE has a very limited range.
• The passenger door will not unlock from the passengers or drivers door switches.
• The passenger door window is inoperative.

Correction

Important: For clarification purposes, the following information is provided. The components involved in this bulletin are known by various names. The Service Information Document ID #849813 refers to the component as the Door Lock and Side Window Switch. General Motors Service Parts refers to the components as SWITCH DR LK & SI WDO.

Perform the following procedure step by step (do not skip a step) to determine the proper course of action.

Important: Verify the software version in your Tech 2. If the software is not 23.001 or newer, your Tech 2 software needs to be updated.

    • If the vehicles month of production is 02/03 or newer, this bulletin does not apply. Refer to published Service Information for the symptom experienced by the customer.
  2. Use the Tech 2 to determine the PDM operational software release number.
    • With the Tech 2 installed and powered up, verify the software version. If the software is not 23.001 or newer, your Tech 2 software needs to be updated.

    • If the "Operational S/W Part Number" is 15181562, 15186199 or 15186460, exit out of this bulletin procedure. Refer to Service Information to diagnose the condition reported by the customer (the vehicle has the most current software as of the date of this bulletin).

They shouldn't charge more than 1 hour of labor and the highest labor rate I have seen is $100/hour. So no more than 1 hour time and $100.
