That didn't get any response LOL . My problem is I can't get the old or new key fobs to work . I did the wire jumper thing , so I am guessing the module is bad . I found a NOS one on eBay for $100.00 but I've read there is some thing about the original key numbers and re-programming ???

Any know or have any experience on this ?

What wire jumper thing?

What terminals did you jump?

Not sure, but maybe you can only program with a Tech II scanner....

Sorry should have said paper clip on the 4th and 8th terminal on the scanner plug . I've seen them done several times on this car on youtube . I found another receiver on ebay a couple of days ago so as soon as I get it I'll try that . I'll report back one way or the other .

What procedure are you following to program the remotes?

Yes, you need a Tech2 to diagnose GM modules
