I found this on the forums, so I can't take the credit...or blame!

You have to follow the proceedure fast (within 2 seconds) to enter that mode after turning the ignition on or it will not work.

ALSO, hit the right blinker only ONCE when doing this, not twice

1. If necessary verify the correct 5 digit PIN if there is one entered, if not try this proceedure to enter a PIN of your own.

2. Turn ignition key to IGNITION

3. Quickly within 2 seconds of turning key hold both turn signal switches in until confirmation.
> Key icon flashes at a fast rate In the odometer window a flashing dash will be followed by four more dashes.

4. Enter first digit (A) in the PIN by pressing left turn switch A times.
> The first digit (A) in the odometer will be the first digit in the PIN.

5. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The first digit is stored and the dash will flash.

6. Enter the second digit (B) in the pin number by pressing LEFT turn switch B times.
> The second digit (B) in the odometer will be the second digit in the PIN.

7. Press RIGHT turn switch one time. (Serves as enter key)
> The second digit is stored and the next dash will flash.

8. Enter the third digit (C) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch C times.
> The third digit (C) will be the third digit in the PIN.

9. Press RIGHT turn switch one time. (Serves as enter key)
> The third digit is stored and the next dash will flash.

10. Enter the fourth digit (D) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch D times.
> The fourth digit (D)in the odometer will be the fourth digit in the PIN.

11. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The fourth digit (D) is stored and the next dash will flash.

12. Enter the fifth digit (E) in the PIN by pressing LEFT turn switch E times.
> The fifth digit (E) in the odometer will be the fifth digit in the PIN.

13. Press RIGHT turn switch 1 time. (Serves as enter key)
> The fifth digit is stored.
