99 Keyless Remote How To?

[ammo71]

I have a 99 cutlass and was wondering if someone could give me the procedures on how to program the keyless remote. I have looked everywhere for them and never did find one for a 99. Thanks for any info, Phil

Look in your trunk by the antenna for a black electrical connector. This is what I did for a 94 Cutlass, it may be different on your 99. If you have that connector, ground it to the body, then hit any key on your remote, you should hear the locks cycle. It will be programmed then. If you have a second remote to program, leave the connector grounded after programming the first one, and hit any key on the second remote and both should be programmed. That procedure worked for my son's 94 Cutlass.

My Owner's Manual says that after replacing the battery, the remote must be re-synchronized with the car. This is done by pressing both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons at the same time while standing next to the vehicle for at least 7 seconds. The locks are supposed to lock/unlock twice during this process. I tried this on both my remotes - one worked as promised, the other did not lock/unlock the locks as promised. Both remotes did work with the car afterward though.

(Look inside the remote for these instructions)

Thanks for your reply I'll give that a shot and see if it works.
