Default Key fob

Hi. I buy 2 key fob and program it like 10 times and does no work. I can hear the car accepts the programing but it does not open the doors, close it or out the alarm..

Is something bad?
I'm tired of open and close the car manually when it has factory alarm and power locks.

I follow this instructions. When I finish I hear the doors. But when I press the fob to close o open nothing happens.

. Turn ignition off. Remove RADIO (fuse No.17) from fuse block. Cycle ignition switch from OFF to RUN positions 3 times within 5 seconds until doorlocks and hatch release cycles, indicating Body Control Module (BCM) is in programming mode. Leave ignition switch in RUN position.

2. Press both LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on remote control door lock transmitter for 16seoncds. Doorlocks will cycle once, confirming transmitter code is programmed. Doorlocks must cycle completely to unlock before proceeding. Any transmitter code that was previously programmed has been erased. BCM is now programmed to remote control door lock transmitter.

So at the end of step 2 you see the door locks cycle but can't use the fob aftward? Any chance its got a bad battery in the fob?

Exactly that, it does not do nothing.

Did you guys get this fixed??? I've been trying to figure out this EXACT problem for hours now. The remotes both worked and I gave one to a buddy of mine. we got it programmed to his car. Well it unlock and lock both of our cars together. So I went to reprogram just the one remote to my car after we where done with his (fuse back in block key off) and my car would cycle the locks on step 3 as if the fob was programmed but when I try to use it nothing works. I've done this at least 30 times with the same result. But now out of no where his remote isn't working on his car and his car won't accept and programing wither now. Both cars respond the the remotes in step 3 when trying to program but won't work after that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Default Key Fob Does Not Work / Security Light is On

I'm having trouble with my keyfob too.

When I bought my car in about 2017, I programmed the keyfobs by doing the whole thing of taking the radio fuse out, etc. The keyfobs worked great.

I just recently had my car repainted, new carpet and upholstery. Before I took my car in, the keyfob was working slowly. I had to hold the unlock button down longer than I had before. The car sat in the paint shop for several weeks and since I've gotten it back the keyfob does not work.

The SECURITY light is on and I'm not sure why and/or if that is effecting the keyfob. I can't cancel the security light with my OBD-II port reader. The keyfob doesn't work at all now. I've tried two new batteries and they have voltage but they haven't helped. I've tried to program the keyfobs by taking the radio fuse out, etc., but it doesn't work. Do any of you have any ideas what might be going on. Could it have somethiing to do with the SECURITY light being on? Do any of you know how I can cancel the SECURITY light?
