Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) - Transmitter - Resynchronization
The keyless entry transmitters may become out of synchronization with the remote function actuator (RFA) module under the following conditions:
When changing the transmitter battery.
Excessively pressing the transmitter buttons while out of the vehicles range.
When a transmitter becomes out of synchronization, only the panic feature will operate from the transmitter. To resynchronize the transmitter,
perform the following steps:
Hold the transmitter within the range of the vehicle.
Press and hold the transmitter LOCK (4) and UNLOCK (1) buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds .
When the transmitter is synchronized with the vehicle, the door locks will cycle. The horn will chirp and the exterior lights will flash if programed to do these functions.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) - Transmitter
IMPORTANT : Before entering the programming mode, verify possession of all the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, the memory erases. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again. You may program up to 4 transmitters.
Perform the following procedure when adding new transmitters or replacing failed transmitters:
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Use a fused jumper in order to jumper the DLC terminal 8 (BLK/WHT) to terminal 4 (BLK).
Close all of the doors.
Turn the ignition switch ON. The doors will cycle to lock.
Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button on one transmitter. After a 30 second delay the doors will lock and unlock.
IMPORTANT : Do not turn the ignition OFF or the first transmitter will become inoperative.
In order to program extra transmitters, repeat step 5.
Disconnect the jumper from the DLC.

hey i want to say im having the same prob.
just the other day everythings working fine then boom. i press the unlock to my car and it wont go. i get in and it wont lock. and on top of that the power antenna stopped going up and down
i checked the fuses and relays, they checked out alright except one 15A under passenger side that controls trunk release. right away i replaced it with another 15a fuse and boom it blew too. like wth?
so this is with the car off, so i go with a higher amp just cause i figured id blow another 15, unless one i had was old idk. and this doesnt blow. so ok doors lock, still no remote or antenna working though...
so i replace it with a 15A cause thats what it calls for and it doesnt blow
but why does my antenna still not work or keyless entry not work. everything else checks out. battery, connection, everything i could before asking for help
still havent checked the "ground buss" connections, or disconnected negative terminal, might try it but im thinking it might be something else
anyone help please??

the power antenna has its own fuse. there is a relay mounted on the antenna that could be bad . also have some listen to see if they hear the motor run on the antenna drive cable could be broke. there is a ground cable that mounts by the antenna to. make sure its still bolted. if you have aftermarket radio installed make sure the wire for power ant is still connected. you have one or two remotes for the car if only one take the remote stand by the passenger side of the car. hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time hold the bottons till you hear the locks click then should be ok this should reprogram the remote
