Had to hold the buttons for more like 20 seconds on my 98.
Try that,if it doesn't work,try this:
KEYFOB PROGRAMMING:
1) Turn ignition on
2) Turn radio off
3) Press Driver Information Center (DIC) RESET button ( 6 )
4) Press OPTIONS button on the DIC until display is blank ( 4 )
5) Press and hold RESET button for 3 seconds ( 6 )
6) Press OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING is displayed ( 4 )
7) Press RESET button to begin programming sequence. ( 6 )
8) Simultaneously press and hold LOCK and UNLOCK ( A & B )
buttons on first remote for 13 seconds until message
appears stating programming is complete. The computer
will ask to program second FOB. If you don't have a second
FOB follow on to step 9.
9) Turn ignition off and remove key for ignition.
10) Test remote or remotes

Tried to reprogram original FOB using all the threads and posts here for my 1998 C5 . I have only one working FOB and replaced the battery. I reprogrammed it via manual and it chirps twice after acknowleging the LEARNED FOB 1,,I tried exiting using OPTION and turned key off. I retried it exiting also turning off key to exit. It worked for a very brief time , about 2 minutes then stop functioning. I stood in front of car and tried as posted here resychronizong holding down buttons for 15 seconds. Again it chirped twice and it worked for 2 minutes then stopped functioning again. Any suggestions before I attempt to solder connections would be appreiciated? Could it be a defective New battery that I bought recently CR 2450 Energizer? thanks for any response here. This has been very frustrating. Dgbase Dave

Frankly from your description it does sound like a broken solder joint. Before soldering look for obvious breaks. It helps if you have a magnifying glass or jewelers loop. Those pads are really small. New fobs are still available. I'm thinking about buying a couple before they get expensive. Let us know how its resolved.
