Problem Programming Master Key

[OldGSguy]

Bought a new master key. Got it programmed to start the car, but can't get it programmed to open the doors. I followed these instructions:

Okay, here they are. I'm also including some additional trivial notes that may or may not make a difference.

I was given two sets of steps to run. I'm not entirely certain that both sets have to be performed, but it worked for me (after a couple of false tries).

FOR CARS WHERE YOU WANT TO CREATE A SPARE KEY:

Before starting, press and release the Brake and Accelerator pedals at the same time.

1. Place an already programmed Master key in the keyway (Do not turn on)

2. Press the Gas pedal 5 times.

3. Press the Brake pedal 6 times.

4. Pull out the key.

5. Insert the new key but DO NOT turn it on.

6. Press the Gas pedal just 1 time and wait until the security light stops blinking (about 1 minute).

7. Remove the key and press the Brake pdeal 1 time. The cycle is now closed.

The programming mode will end after 10 more seconds.

REGISTRATION OF RECOGNITION CODE

1. Open driver door, keep it open and in the unlocked position (all other doors should be closed)

2. Put original key in ignition and pull out

3. Lock and Unlock the doors 5 times (complete each lock/unlock cycle within 1 second and

entire process in 40 seconds or less)

4. Close the door and open the door

5. Lock and Unlock the doors another 5 times (complete each lock/unlock cycle within 1 second and

entire process in 40 seconds or less)

6. Put the new Master Key in the ignition, turn it to "on" and then off (with 1 second) and remove from the ignition.

7. Press and hold transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for at least 1.5 seconds,

and then within 3 seconds; press any transmitter button for at least one second.

8. If within 3 seconds, door locks cycle one time, new transmitter code was accepted. If door locks

cycle 2 times, new transmitter code was not accepted. If code was not accepted retry step 8 again.

Tried four times, but no luck. The door locks still cycle 2 times, indicating code wasn't accepted, and the doors don't open. Any suggestions?

Any luck with this? I tried it and I don't get any response. I wonder if my receiver is broken.

Old guy,

What instructions did you use to prgram the actual key? Can you post them for me? I programmed my doors and trunk using the second set of instructions listed. But instead of inserting the original key, you have to insert the new key you have.

Thanks for this info! B) Just joined this week and found this while searching (it's what I was looking for) It helped me out a lot and just wanted to bump the thread so someone else could find the info that needs it.

Thanks again....
