remote programming issues on 2000 GP

[jokerfest]

Hello, Just a few days ago both of my remotes stopped working on my 2000 GT. I thought it was odd for the battery to go on both so I started looking online.

I have tried the following steps to reprogram them and believe I am entering programming mode. However, I do not get 'confirmation chime' when I enter the programming/diagnostic mode. I get a series a 8 chimes that is repeated three times. Does anybody know if this a code for a specific problem? Any help would be great, Thanks.

**** These are the steps I was following. ****
1. Sit in the vehicle driver's seat.
2. Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
3. Close all of the vehicle's doors.
4. Remove the MALL PGM fuse from the fuse panel. Refer to electronic Diagnosis in Body and Chassis.
5. Turn the ignition lock cylinder to the ACC position.
6. Turn the ignition lock cylinder OFF, then back to ACC within 1 second.
7. Open and then close any vehicle door. You will hear a chime when the remote control door lock receiver enters the programming/diagnostic mode. If you do not hear a chime, start again at step 1. If the remote control door lock receiver does not enter the programming/diagnostic mode after a second attempt, refer to Electrical Diagnosis.

Important
After 7 seconds you may hear a chime confirming successful synchronization. After approximately 14 seconds, you will hear a chime confirming successful programming.

8. Press and hold the transmitter LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously for 14 seconds.
