I hope she feels better soon. That’s way more important than messing with fobs.

Have you verified all fuses - especially accessory?

Dealers assigned codes at setup.there was no default from factory. Factory recommended 11111, 21212, 31313 to get people started.

Yup. I even switched the accessory and battery fuse to make sure because I know the Fue pump works. Then the alarm started going off every minute till the module battery ran down.

If you have no disarm code and no other options I would disconnect ecm and Tssm, then plug them back in and hold button again for 2-3 min. Being certain battery is in correctly. Otherwise you are in for some expenses.

Hooked up the battery and alarm goes off every 30 sec. How can I stop it?
Nevermind. It stopped after 10 min. But now it won't let try and enter code...

Give these folks a call and see if they think their product can help you. If so, then ask if they know a shop near you that uses the programmer.
