1. Close all vehicle doors.
2. Insert the key into the ignition.
3. Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel-continue to hold
down until instructed to release in step 9.
4. Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the
engine).
6. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9. Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock
the doors automatically.

the door locks and unlocks.
This step may take up to 30 seconds.

this didnt work for me but i could have either a bad fob or something wrong with my module itself.......
To add to the instructions, you have to make sure that the remote numbers on the back of the remote are the correct numbers. If you have the original one w/ the car, then just double check the numbers are same. Cant think of what they say right now, think like model number, or fic.. something. If its not correct, it wont work w/ your application. I know b/c i had to do it to my tahoe when i got it, and had the wrong numbers, got the right ones, did those instructions and worked like a charm. Also, just to make sure, make sure you have good battery in the remote.

i have the correct fob and as soon as i had bought the vehicle i threw a new battery in the fob.... so who knows
... i will be goin to a viper anyway
Thumber, dont know why yours isnt working. Like you stated earlier, you might have a bad module or something. But if you are going to a viper, then no big deal. You wont need it. I dont use mine anymore, only the viper remote..

my original fob stopped working as the metal piece holding the battery had a crack in one of the soder points. I tried to resoder but it didnt work. Order a new one with matching numbers, worked awesome. Got it off ebay for $17

Exactly, same one. I was told you need a special soder gun (lower heat) for electrical boards but you may already know that. Trying to find the link to the fob I bought on ebay for $17. Great deal and well worth it.

The FIC numbers of the remotes have to match. When I got mine form this ebay seller they listed a set of FIC ID numbers that would work. But i just tried the process and it didnt work. Even with me holding the unlock button down the locks cycle everytime i turn the key to off position....anyone have this problem? Also im still trying to find out if the KEY is a transponder key or not.

I found that the numbers had to match. I could get the locks to cycle with a non numbers matching fob but not when I I hit the last two steps.

maybe you just need a new battery. They sell them at every auto parts store.
