I know that on my '93, the first thing to do when messing with the PKE is to make sure that the light comes on. You can't program anything until the light comes on. Do you have the factory service manuals for your year? They are very helpful. You'd want to run diagnostics to check if the PKE receiver isn't shot..

On GM installed PKE's the light on the DIC comes on if the PKE is turned on. If turned off, it will now light on start-up it it is turned off by the key fob.
