Programming fob trouble 2005
I'm trying to program. a fob 3, going by the manual page 2-6 I did leave the door open and tried it with the door closed. I turned the key 5 times within 5 seconds DIC never lights up and says anything.
Then I tried it with the instructions posted here to test the glovebox slot did exactly as it said turned the key 5 times within 5 seconds more like 3 seconds or less the DIC never lights up and says anything yes I have a known fob plugged to the slot keys pointing to the passenger side just like they say. I did have the trunk open as it says in the manual.

OK here's what Kent 1999 did to program his FOB, the instructions come from the link above.
1) Put metal key in key cylinder back by license plate. Dont turn it yet, just leave it in there for now.
2) Put old, already-programmed-and-working fob in center console cupholder
3) Turn car 'on' using start button (you dont have to start it -- doesnt matter), then press start button again to turn car OFF.
4) Immediately run (yes, RUN) to the back of the car and turn the key five times. If you physically cant get back there very fast, have a helper ready to turn the key five times when you turn car off. This should trigger the "FOB" message on DIC.
5) Carry out the rest of the fob learning procedure as normal.
This is the ONLY way my car will go into "fob learn mode". If I wait even 5-7 seconds between steps 3 and 4, my car will never go into fob learn mode, no matter how hard or fast I turn the key.
That's a new way to programming, I haven't tried this. It's to late to go and try this now, I will get in trouble with the boss (lol). I will try this tomorrow though, thanks and wish me luck. I will let all of you know if this works for me.
