I did get the factory remote for my car and it did work.

Now, I have another problem. I went to change the alarm programing and used the wrong two 'pins'. Now, I have no automatic locks. I have to lock and unlock the doors manually, using the key from the outside, and use the key for the trunk. I've check all the 'regular' fuses; and all are okay. Is there a way to find out if the main fuses are bad? Or do you know what I did to 'break' my door locks.

I want to add that the dome light doesn't work, either.

Did you check the inside fuses like the body one and the door locks fuse?

I did, and found it was the 'body' fuse that blew.

Thank you so much!

That was definitely that. I thought I would go and get some more fuses, but my car wouldn't start either. So, I took out one that I could live without for a few minutes and put it in place. Voila! My car started.
I'm so glad this forum/site is here. I would be lost without you guys! Even my owner's manual wasn't much help considering it didn't say that the body fuse effected the ignition, too.

Thanks again!

The body fuse effects the security module so that's why the no start.I am glad you enjoy our site that's what we like to hear.
