This worked for me...
I just programmed a remote for my 2001 Venture over the weekend using the following instructions, which I've copied and pasted from another post on this forum. I bought the remote on e-bay, it reportedly came from a 2003 Venture, and was the two-button variety without the panic or power door buttons. I don't know if there are any cross-functional problems with other styles of remotes, or with remotes from other model years. Here are the instructions:
Important! Once the BCM enters program mode, all transmitters must be programmed at the same time. Any transmitters not learned at this time will be erased.
1) Remove the key from the ignition cylinder
2) Remove the BCM PRGRM fuse from the fuse panel
(The fuse panel is located to the right of the dash panel, just inside the passenger door. The owner's manual had a table listing the position of the BCM PRGRM fuse...as I recall there was at least one other fuse with "BCM" in its name, make sure you locate the correct fuse.)
3) Close all the doors
4) Close the liftgate
5) Turn the ign lock cylinder to the ACC. position
6) Turn the ignition lock cylinder to OFF, and then back to ACC within 1 second
7) Open and close any door
Achim will be heard when the system enters the BCM programming mode
IMPORTANT!
After 7 seconds a chime may be heard confirming successful synchronization. It is necessar to wait approximately 14 seconds for a second chime that will confirm successful programming.
(I heard the first chime at 7 seconds, but didn't hear any subsequent chimes. Remote still worked, though.)
8) Press and hold the transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds
9) Repeat the previous step on each additional transmitter to be programmed.
10) Remove the ignition key from the ignition cylinder
11) Install the BCM PRGRM fuse back into the fuse panel.
Good luck!
