Default programming 1999 corvette key fobs

I need help. I had my rearend replaced in my 99 corvette, at such time the batt. was out for about 2 weeks. When we got the car back both key fobs did not work. Can anyone out there tell me how to reprogram my key fobs. Or tell me why both key fobs just failed.

If this matters; I have a 99 corvette convt. 6 speed.
Thank very much.

Stand next to the car. Hold both lock and unlock buttons on the fob down until you hear the horn chirp. You are back in business.

If that doesn't work, try this -


Fob programming
1-Turn the ignition to RUN
2-Turn the radio off
3-Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC warning messages
4-Press the Option button on the DIC until the IPC display is blank in order to enter the program mode
5-Press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds
6-Press the option button until FOB Training message is displayed
7-Press the Reset button in order to begin the programming sequence.
8-Simultaneously press and hold the lock an unlock buttons on the first transmitter for 12 seconds. The IPC will indicate when that transmitter is programmed and when to proceed to the next. Repeat this step for each transmitter.
