I have purchased an additional remote for my 2000 pontiac montana. I tried the on off and press the lock button procedure, but it will not cycle the locks. Any help with this would be appreiciated.

Perform the following steps in order to program the transmitter:

Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from the fuse panel. Refer to Fuse Block in Wiring Systems.
Close all of the doors.
Close the liftgate.
Turn the ignition lock cylinder to ACC.
Turn the ignition lock cylinder to OFF, and then back to ACC within 1 second.
Open and close any vehicle door. A chime will be heard when the system enters the BCM programming/diagnostic mode.

Important
After 7 seconds, a chime may be heard confirming successful synchronization. It is necessary to wait approximately 14 seconds for a second chime that will confirm successful programming.


Press and hold the transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds.
Repeat the previous step on each additional transmitter to be programmed.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Install the BCM PRGRM fuse back into the fuse panel. Refer to Fuse Block in Wiring Systems.

Well I replaced the battery in my remote and then I tried to program it. But I never get a remote confirm beep. I get the beep that the door opened and clsed, but nothing after holding the lock/unlock buttons.

Any other suggestions?

Yah, I'm having the same problem. I tried the instructions several times, no confirmation beep. The only chime I get is that the door is open. Is there some other way to program these things without resorting to taking it into the dealer or am I stuck with only having one transmitter that works? I've got a new battery in my new remote as well.

Nevermind, got it working. Turns out I didn't read the fuse diagram correctly and pulled the wrong fuse :( Its all fixed now, got both transmitters hooked up, woohooo!!! Thanks for all the help.

Finally got mine to work again. I used the instructions but waited for all confirm beeps to end before programming the remote.
