1991 olds 88, got the keyless entry to cycle, but?....help!

I have found the wire under the dash that enters keyless entry mode. I will explain what I have been doing, and tell me please what the heck is going on. Note that before thr old remote was smashed, keyless entry was fine.

1) ignition off 2) jumper program terminal wire 3) locks cycle once, trunk does not 4) press remote unlock 5) doors cycle once, trunk does not 6) remove jumper wire 7) swear when remote does not work.

Why would it accept the remote's signal when in program mode, but not when in normal mode? Batteries are new. Thanx to all who reply

Are you sure that the replacement remote you got is EXACTLY the same as the old one, same FCC id numbers, etc. on the back? Or did you just buy one from the dealership?

Go to a wrecking yard they usually have a bucket full of these, and find a set that are identical.
