Default 2000 Classic keyless stopped working after replacing Heater Core

A guy just replaced my heater core after taking out the dash.
I'm guessing something wasn't reconnected because my OEM keyless no longer works.
Does it need to be reprogrammed, or did he forget to reconnect the harness somewhere?
Where does the harness run?

Check ground point G107.

G107 is located on the far right side of (under) the instrument panel near the glove box. Roll the glove box down and look to the right (mirror/flashlight) and see if you can see a ground stud with several wires attached. Maybe it was never hooked back up correctly or the ground wire to the Remote Keyless Entry Module was broken off.

That was it. Found the other end of the plug, connected it, all's well.

That looks like connector C301 (pics below).

Do you have an overhead console with compass and ambient air temp indication? If C301 is not connected they're probably inop. C301 carries mostly overhead console circuits (RKE Module).

In the connector pinout image the C301 on the right is the white connector with the attach gizzy (same as your pic). You just need to find the other C301 connector and hook them up.

Yeah, that was the issue.
I don't have an overhead console, but the keyless board is located in the same place.

Does that mean I can swap in an overhead console at some point?

Yes, provided there is wiring and a connector that goes to the overhead.
