Sounds like you did it right to me that is how i do mine.

the screen goes blank then shut the key off and then turn it back on and it should say 100%.

Easy way... Turn key to on. Press gas pedal down three times Fast and start car. It will read 100%

your first instinct was right, but the car can't be running. Just turn the key to on and press reset. The gas pedal trick works too, but I have found you can do that accidently.

Will it show 100 or 99%? Mine resets and comes up 99%.

It shows 100% for about 5 minutes.

If you have Borla Stingers or have the radio up too loud, it starts at 99%...

Glad you got it figured out. I just changed mine on Friday - pushed the reset button until 100% came up.
