did the usual reset procedure, nothing. Never happened before. Didn't have a chance to check for any codes. IIRC - this might be one of those pull the fuse and replace type things. UGH.

Disconnect the battery for, uhm, say 10 minutes. that might do it.

1. Take the valet key, put it into the ignition and turn the key to the "on" position, just prior to starting the car.

2. Roll down the driver's side window (not required, but a good idea in case there's a problem).

3. Exit the car and close the door.

4. With a second key, physically lock the doors (don't use a remote).

5. Take the first remote to be programmed, press one of the buttons and the lights will flash once. Wait 10 seconds and press the unlock button. The doors should unlock. That first transmitter is now programmed.

6. Lock the door again (physically) with the key, (not the remote).

7. Press one of the buttons twice, the lights will flash twice. Wait 10 seconds and press the unlock button. The doors should unlock. The second transmitter is now programmed.

For a third transmitter press the button 3 times and for a fourth press 4 times.

then lock or unlock the door with the key. Hadn't seen this one. Thanks Jeff.

I know this one works.

after the morning commute to work, I got out and the remote would not work to lock the car. I used the key to manually lock the door. Removed the key and retried the remote and it worked fine. Not the actual programming procedure, but seemed to work just by locking the door.

the valet key! UGH.

lets see how long this lasts.
