I have a 2004 Avalanche 1500 that after the truck sits for about 3-5 minutes, the remote will not lock or unlock the truck. Then if the key is inserted in the door and I see the dome lights come on or actually use the key to unlock the door, the remote will lock & unlock doors as well as make use of panic button. The remote works fine unless I wait until the dome lights go out, then it quits again. It seems to not have power to the door locks when the dome lights time out. It's like it goes into sleep mode and by inserting the key in the truck it wakes it up.
 
They do have a timer that cuts power to much of the truck, something to prevent battery drain? Idk but I'd check the ignition selection switch I believe sometimes they have issues.
Mine engine stayed on running with key out then if open drivers door, the power would kill engine power.
Possible area to check idk if another part controls the delay timer.
