I am looking for instructions to program the Keyless Entry Fob for my 1997 Trans Sport. The dealer wants $45 to do it and I am sure it is a simple process that does not warrant $45. Any help would be great, the guy I bought the fob off of gave me some generic instructions that did not work. Thanks.

there's a procedure on the 2001 venture which i would think should follow suit for your remote...
i can point you to the site, but i'm affraid that the moderators here may construe that as advertising...so i guess just pm me and i'll get you the link....
[edit - nevermind, i'll just pm you the link]

Did you get your keyless remote programmed? If you did, I could really use some help.

This worked for me on my 1997 Montana. I got it from a post from a 1997 Venture post.
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
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.
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.
