ok well i have tried both steps, turning the ignition on and off 8 times, and bridging the two wire in the quarter panel, only the quarter panel trick worked to get it to lock and unlock, but the remotes wouldnt work, help
1996 GT..... Short connector J4 on back of harness next to remote keyless entry module.
If you get lock/unlock then you are in program mode. If remote fails to program are you sure it is the right remote for this application, and are you sure it works or has a good battery??
I have heard that the RKEM has the ID numbers on the back of it. You may have to pull the panel, remove the mounting screws and pull it out to see if anything is on the backside.
I see several different remotes were available on this year, so I can only guess what yours is.
Can you post the ID numbers off the remotes you have?
