Default Can't program remote on 1999 Corvette

I know the steps to program and I manage to program the remote but after a few seconds working the remote stops working.
It happens with both remotes...like the car won't hold the programing.
Can Anybody Please help?

There is a thread about re soldering the pins on the back of the board to fix it. From what I have read, this is the miracle fix & by the symptoms you are describing, that is what you need to do. Do a search on fob repair in the c-5 general section.
