programming fob help?
OK... I have followed every procedure I can find; Basically:
- Car off
- Trunk open
- Working fob in car (did multiple variations, of new fob in and out of car)
- Glove box open
- Insert metal key in truck slot, turn 5 times within 5 seconds
(No cell phones in or near car.)
And nothing. DIC never says anything at all.
What am I missing?

Are you trying to reprogram all the fobs you have, or are you trying to add additional new fobs?
There are 2 different procedures and we need to know which one you want to do.

The auto pull down latch is working, turning the key will unlock the hatch, but nothing puts it in to program mode.
Tried it with doors open, closed, hatch open and closed, did it quick, with a helper, without a helper, did it slower did it with both keys in car, one key in car, key in the slot, not in the slot, etc. etc.
You name it, I tried it.
Edit: I got it worked out. In the end I had to put the car in reverse and it worked first try... go figure...

I tried them all, none of it worked.

Make one last try with turning the key 5 times. Some forum members who couldn't get the programming started went back and made sure they were doing 5 full vigorous turns of the key. Sometimes that was all it took.

With your helper watching the display, keep turning the key past the normal 5 times to see if that works. A couple years back, after trying the 5 turns several times with no luck, I had my wife help me & I kept turning the key until it worked, I think it took 8-9 turns. Can't hurt to try if you haven't already ... good luck.
