pke turned off
I Put Some Napkins In My 94 Console And Depressed The Hatch Button. I Thought Something Was Wrong With My Pke So I Tried To Reprogram It And It Turned It Off. The Door And Hatch All Works From The Buttons Inside. I Tried Everything In The Owners Manual No Luck I Changed The Batteries In The Fob And Went To Gm Dealer And They Let Me Use ThEIR Service Manual Still No Luck It All Worked Fine Until This Now What?

What indications are you referring to when you say it turned off?
Does the PKE light flash for 2 seconds when the key is turned?
Does it go in programming mode, correct lights flashing and such when you go in to this mode. If nothing happens, you might try checking the PKE fuse.
Did you try taking it out of sleep mode?

Just on a chance, remove the DIP and check the PKE lamp just in case it burned out. If it did, you won’t know where you are.
The FOB will not prevent the PKE from going into programming mode.
There are many things to check however the most common problems that would relate to your symptoms are a defective PKE receiver, or the contact in the key switch.
The FSM is really needed if you are going to get into it especially if you work on the car regularly.

Doesn't the PKE light come on when you first turn the key to the ON or ACC position? You wouldn't have to remove the bulb, would you?
I haven't tried to diagnose my PKE problems yet, but the light in the DIC does come on when I start the car.

Pke Turned Off
The Problem Started When I Tried To Reprogram The Key Fob The Pke Light Was On And I Think It Was Flashing. I Got The Fob In Range And The Light Went Off And Shut The Pke Off. The Batteries Are Good, The Fuse Is Good, I Tried To Reprogram The Fob, Pulled The Fuse And Disconnected The Battery For A While. The Gm Service Manual Said To Ground The 8 Pin On The Diagnostic Port. I Checked The Door Switches, They Seem To Work. I Tried To Turn The System On Per Owners Manual. Nothing. It Worked Fine Until I Tried To Reprogram Fob. Could I Have Reprogramed Too Many Times? If So How Do I Reset It?

You can’t reprogram the PKE receiver to many times. Three FOBs can be programmed to it.
When you turn the key, If the PKE does not flash the receiver might be bad.
If you ground pin 8, does the PKE light flash at all. If it does not, the receiver might be bad.
Disconnecting the car battery might clear the PKE and CCM, but it does not remove from its memory what FOBs are programmed to it. You might try this and get lucky.
But if that PKE light just won't light in any mode that’s an indication the receiver is bad. (check the PKE lamp).
