~Thanks

Lumina sedan or Lumina APV minivan?

Thanks Chris... i do not need to buy one, i only need instructions on how to program the remote.. i have a LUMINA SEDAN. not APV. Please leave programming! thanks..

This is what I found for the Lumina sedan:

Transmitter Programming
Perform this procedure when any of the following conditions exist:

The RKE programming connector (BLK/WHT wire) is grounded (CKT 1455).
The RCDLR is replaced.
A keyless remote transmitter is replaced.
A second (up to a total of 4) keyless remote transmitter is added.
Programming Procedure

Important
If the vehicle has more than one keyless entry transmitter, ensure that all of the keyless entry transmitters are programmed during the same programming sequence. Any keyless entry transmitters that are not programmed will not work correctly.


Open the rear compartment lid.
Pull aside the right side compartment trim in order to gain access. Refer to Compartment Side Trim Replacement - RH Rear in Body Rear End.



Use a jumper wire with alligator clips in order to ground the RKE programming connector. The door locks will lock and unlock. This action indicates that the RCDLR has entered the keyless entry transmitter programming mode.
While the programming connector is still grounded, program each of the keyless entry transmitters, one at a time. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously on the first keyless entry transmitter. Hold the buttons for 10 seconds. The door locks will lock and unlock. This action indicates that the keyless entry transmitter has been programmed.
Repeat Step 4 for the remaining keyless entry transmitters. You may program as many as 4 keyless entry transmitters.
Remove the jumper wire from the RKE programming connector terminal.
Verify that the keyless entry transmitters operate correctly.
Install the right side rear compartment trim. Refer to Compartment Side Trim Replacement - RH Rear in Body Rear End.
Close the rear compartment lid.

Thank you so much!!!

hope it works out for ya

That's great information Onblsht!

Question: what if the only keyless transmitter you have is the new one, with no originals remaining? Do you HAVE to have an original?

no, you dont have to have original keyless to program a new one.

Thank you for clearing my confused head! :)

I just wanted to ensure I was understanding the above-provided directions. Boy, I'm so psyched: $45 for a keyless is more than half-off what the local Chevy dealerships wanted!!!

how do i resubscibe to this?

Anytime you post in a BB system like this one, just below where you/I type this text you're reading now is a, in this BB's case, "Thread Subscription" drop-down menu: my default is "Instant Notification by email".

Just reply, tell me I'm a tool and before you hit supply make sure you adjust that drop-down menu. :D

Yea, thanks, when i asked the question, it automatically re-subscribed me anyway, that is how i found this thread again.

I see that WD0FIA posted the procedure for programming the remotes on the 1994-1995 Lumina APV Minivan.

Does this procedure also work for the 1996 Lumina APV minivan? Thanks
