Did you use the bitwriter ? This happened to me once and using the programming button with the remote to access the menu didnt work, i used the bitwriter and it solved the issue .

Do you have door trigger connected? To make sure you can program, ground the green door trigger connector during programming.
I must admit the programming instructions are confusing the first few times.
The other fact is that programming might have been locked, then you WILL need a Bitwriter.

Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.
