Have you used a meter to verify that there is power on the main power wire of the unit?

“Have you tried the shutdown diagnostics on page 36 of the install guide?””

“Or maybe delete all remotes in the transmitter/receiver routine menu and then try to auto learn the remotes again.”

--No, have not tried. Will try tomorrow.

“Have you used a meter to verify that there is power on the main power wire of the unit?”

--No, but would the LED and other functions be working if there was no power on the main power wire?

I didn't catch the part where you said the LEDs were on. I really think you need to check it, an LED will light up brightly with as little as 2 volts across it. It may not be getting good power and still be albe to light them up.

If the ignition locks are working then it says the unit is powered and seeing ingnition as well! Now what does the manual say as reagards the programming, it will be under transceiver learn routine in the manual! List the directions EXACTLY as the manual has them and i will help you from there!

1) Yes, the LED works, but only with the ignition OFF. It will stay on steadily once the program button is pressed. The "lock/unlock" confirmation light on the remote blinks rapidly three times.

2) I have already tried the "learn" routine. I cannot get the alarm into the program mode. When I follow the instructions in the manual, nothing happens. No horn chirp, no LED lighting up.

3) I have tried both remotes. Neither one works.

4) I have not tried the shutdown diagnostics. I will try that next.

OK, did the shutdown diagnostics. LED blinked 6 times (indicating a +/- shutdown). I turned the car back on and off again, and now everything is working fine. Weird.....Thanks for the help everyone!!
