Program 1998 Grand Am Keyless Remote

Does anyone know how to program a 1998 Grand Am keyless remote. I have one which works and purchased a second from Ebay.

Thanks in advance.

I know you have to get the car in "learn mode". Google that maybe. GW

Transmitter Programming You can program up to 4 different transmitters to a remote control door lock receiver. You can program a transmitter to more than one vehicle, providing that the remote keyless entry systems are similar. If you reprogram a transmitter, you must reprogram any and all other related transmitters (a maximum of 4 per receiver) in order for the other transmitters to function properly.

Important: Leave a window open during the reprogramming procedure. This prevents unintentionally being locked out of the vehicle if you do not properly perform the procedure.

Turn OFF the ignition. Jump the 2 terminals (3, 4) in the program ground connector, in order to ground the receiver program terminal. Within 2 seconds the following sequence will occur, signalling that the module is ready to be reprogrammed: - The doors locks, and then unlocks.

- The rear compartment lid release cycles.

- The horn chirps.

Press and hold both the lock button (5) and the unlock button (2) until the signalling sequence occurs (approximately 12 seconds). The sequence indicates that the transmitter has been successfully reprogrammed. Repeat step 4 for the remaining transmitters. Remove the jumper from the terminals in the program ground connector. Verify that each transmitter operates properly.

I bet your next question is: Where is the program ground connector and what does it look like? open your trunk and look up in the left upper corner you should see a box with wires going into it follow thw wires down a few inches and you should see a connector hanging loose.should be only two wires going to this connector take a paper clip and jump/connect the two wires together. then follow the instructions above, don't for get to remove the paper clip after your second transmitter is programmed.
