i replaced the batteries still does the same thing

 

so does anyone know if it could be the module or not?

Sounds like the module..

Did you try servicing the unit as shown in this link?

no i have not even looked at it

 

i just tried to get the remotes to work

 

thanks i will look at that

That procedure may do the trick.. and it may not.

The one in the TGP didn't work when i got it, and it looks like it had been worked on in the past. I've tried to fix it, and it's still shot.

Good luck.

when i got to ground it it takes a few times to get it to lock/unlock so im leaning towards the bad module

If have the older style remote like this one

 

Then its gotta be a problem with the module. Cause you have the right remote.

It may not be the module, the remotes may not be right. Check the FCC ID numbers on the back to make sure they're correct. I had that happend when I bought a key FOB for my Toro that was from a Cadillac, it should have worked, but the FCC number was different so it was a no go.

well here is the thing no one can give me the fcc code for the 89's i can only get the 93-up fcc codes

 

here is the thing if i ground the system and it reconizes the remote with the lock/unlock when i push one of the buttons it should work right?

 

can anyone with a 89 with keyless give me the fcc code off the remote?

 

yes that is the style remote i have

 

luke got this off his remote GQ43VTI and mine is ABO0104T

I just programmed the remote for my Firebird

 

When you ground the system you should hear them lock and unlock, then press any button on the remote (if you hit the lock button the doors should lock)

 

After those steps the remote should be programmed and you can unground the system.

 

According to this thread all TRW remotes will work http://w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=285&highlight=keyless&sid=dd1d720bf66984e19197f693ef3426b4
