Default Having Problems Reprogramming Transmitter!!

Ok heres my problem, my old key fob broke, so i lucked out and have a friend that works at the local chevy dealer, he got me 3 key fobs and they all look IDENTICAL to mine thats broke, now the numbers on the back are different, so i dont know if thats why im having a problem or not...But here is whats happening, i cycle my car 3 times, the driver door locks and unlocks but the passenger side door just locks it doesnt unlock, and neither does my hatch. So anyways, i tried just holding the lock and unlock buttons down anyways and of course nothing happened, so now im stuck, what should i do, i dont wanna pay to have this reprogrammed, so any advice would be appreciated...Oh ya heres the different part numbers in case that helps

Heh, I tried the same thing today but after cycling the ignition, I didn't hear anything happen or have the hatch open. I did pull the radio fuse (I think, no diagram at the time, but I believe the 10 amp to the far left) and tried it again but no luck.

I also have the security light on as well, hmmmm. Hopefully we get an answer

10443537 is the wrong remote, looks the same but for newer cars. Search the fccid# on remotes here: http://autotechs.com/fcc/fccidsearch.htm and it'll tell you the PN also.

98CAMZ28 try programming again, think you got the wrong fuse. #17 radio fuse is a 15 AMP, lower right.

GM number on the rear has to match for the car to accept them.

Give your buddy the PN of your original remote, they were widely used. Maybe he can find one or two.

If it worked fine before with the correct remote, it should with another with the same fccid/PN after reprogramming it.
