Did you do the quick resynch procedure of the full program procedure?

The full procedure:

Programming Transmitters
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Turn the radio to OFF.
3. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC warning messages.
4. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
5. Press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds.
6. Press the OPTIONS button until FOB TRAINING message is displayed.
7. Press the RESET button in order to begin the programming sequence. The message HOLD LK + UNLK 1ST FOB will be displayed.
8. Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The IPC will indicate when that transmitter is programmed and when to proceed to the next. Repeat this procedure for each additional transmitter or press the OPTIONS button to exit.

My FOB was sporadic at best and then quit working all together. I found a thread on this site....I think, about the soldered connection at the battery boot to the circuit board. I checked mine out and sure enough there was a hairline crack in it breaking the connection. So I resoldered and it has worked perfectly since.

Did you open it and look at the battery connection. I tried the programming procedure as well and was having the same result. Turned out to be the soldered connection at the battery.
