Default trouble programmin a keyless entry..

well i bought a keyless entry from a member on here just last week, i went online and found out how to program it. like so...

1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

2. Remove the RADIO fuse.

3. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position (as far as you can go without
cranking the engine) 3 times within 5 second ending in the RUN position. The vehicle will verify
entry into the programming mode by locking then unlocking the door locks.

4. Press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the first transmitter for approximately
15 seconds. The vehicle will verify programming by locking then unlocking the door locks. Your
new remote has been accepted and all existing remote codes have been erased.

5. Repeat the previous step for each additional transmitter (including any existing transmitters). You
may program up to 4 transmitters. This must be done before the RADIO fuse is reinstalled.

6. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position. IMPORTANT: The remote keyless entry system
will not be operational if the radio fuse is open.

7. Replace the RADIO fuse. If at any time it is necessary to restart the procedure, turn the ignition
OFF and proceed again with step number 1.

The problem is, when i get to step number 4, it doesnt go through the unlock and lock cycle again. i checked the battery in a different key fob to another car and it worked. idk what else could be the problem?any input would be helpful..thanks!

Do you have a copy of your original owner's manual?
It tells how to program the key fob in there.
It could be a different lsit of steps.

I've programmed extra key fobs for mine before, & I don't remember removing any fuses.
