Key should work in trunk still. Weasel your way through or get to the lock pump.

Default put spare key in ignition and turn on. put key to be programmed in door.

press unlock button on key in door. then unlock door manually with key. Shut off ignition then you should be all set.

Default I've programmed my remote through the drivers door prior to door mod but...

Does anyone know if you can reprogram the fob from say the trunk lock or does it have to be the drivers door?

Default It might work from the trunk lock too. I think the CL module is just looking for an unlock request.

Try it from the trunk, I've never done it but the same procedure might work.

Other way to do it is jump your ign 1 and 2 lines to B+, simulating Key On.

How does one get to/ operate the lock pump? I had the same happen, but the doors were locked. I ended up cutting through the ski pass-through to reach the key lock in the rear seats.

BTW- I re-programmed the lock from the trunk key.
