Default Noise when turning steering wheel.

My '01 Deville makes a "vibrating buzz" sometimes when turning the wheel near the left and right stop. It usually occurs when first starting. P.S. fluid and belt are good.The car is in great condition with 40,000 miles.
Also where is the cheapest place to buy a couple key "fobs"? Both are gone.
Thanks in advance.

im not sure about the pwr steering problem other than it may just be normal until it warms it goes away. as for the key fobs i bought 2 on ebay for $30 shipped and were the GM manufactured still in the plastic bags, but they were for a 92 deville though. Try there every once in awhile they will have some at a good price.

Default Fob question

Do the Fobs need to be programed by a Cadillac dealer?

On 96 and newer GM vehicles the keyless entry remote has to be programmed by your local dealer or a locksmith.

or unless you have a Tech 2 scan tool heres the procedure:

REPROGRAMMING RKE MODULE
You will need a Tech-2 Scan Tool to re-program the keyless entry system. The procedure listed below is for the 1999 Seville, but should be very similar to the other models.
When re-programming, it is always a good idea to replace the batteries in the RKE key fob.
IMPORTANT
The order that the transmitters are programmed is important, the first transmitter programmed will be transmitter #1, and the second transmitter programmed will be transmitter #2. You can program up to four transmitters. Additional transmitters are available that do not have a number on them. Any previously programmed transmitters which were not included in the programming will no longer function with this receiver. The number on the transmitters are for reference only, #2 can be programmed as #1 or vice versa. Use care to program the transmitters correctly.
  1. Connect a scan tool.
  2. Select diagnostics.
  3. Select body code.
  4. Select body style code.
  5. Select other.
  6. Select RFA.
  7. Select special functions.
  8. Select F0 program key fobs.
  9. Choose the fob number that you wish to program.
  10. Follow screen prompts to complete programming procedure.
  11. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the transmitter being programmed, the door locks will cycle. This should take about 15 seconds.
  12. Continue on to the next transmitter and repeat until all of the transmitters are complete.
  13. Exit the RKE programming and disconnect the scan tool.
  14. Cycle the ignition and test the transmitters for proper operation
