Thread: touble programming keyless entry remote, 04 grand prix gt

i just bought a 2004 grand prix gt and the keyless remote does not work. i tried replacing the battery and nothing. ni cleaned the contacts and it still didnt work. the solder on the circut board that holds the battery clip in place looks fine. i have done some research on line and i found a site that said

(1) REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION SWITCH.
(2) REMOVE THE 'MALL PGM FUSE' FROM THE FUSE BOX.
(3) CLOSE ALL THE DOORS.
(4) TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE 'ACC' POSTION.
(5) WITHIN 1 SECOND TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK TO 'OFF' THEN BACK TO 'ACC'.
(6) OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVERS DOOR A CHIME WILL SOUND INDICATING PROGRAMMING MODE ACTIVATED.
(7) TO PROGRAM THE REMOTE PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:
a) PRESS AND HOLD REMOTE TRANSMITTER LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTONS UNTILL A CHIME SOUNDS TWICE, APX 14 SECONDS.
b) REPEAT ABOVE PROCEDURE FOR EACH REMOTE TRANSMITTER.
(8) REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION SWITCH.
(9) REFIT 'MALL PGM' FUSE.
NOTE: EXISTING REMOTE TRANSMITTER MEMORY POSITIONS WILL BE OVERWRITTEN.
(10) OBTAIN AND REPROGRAM ALL REMOTE TRANSMITTERS.
NOTE: A MAXIMUM OF 4 REMOTE TRANSMITTERS CAN BE PROGRAMMED.
***ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK SETTINGS CAN BE SET TO RESPOND TO THE REMOTE TRANSMITTERS.

the only problem is i cant find the MALL PGM fuse. i looked in the fuse box on the side of the dash and under the hood. i would really like to do it my self and not have to go to the dealer ship.

You can't find the fuse because you don't have one.

2004+ keyless entry remotes need to be programmed by a dealer with a tech II device.

so it has to go to the dealer. i hate how they make things like that now so the average guy cant do it him self...thank you for youe help
