No - Go to the next steo.'10.ls the transmitter battery installed with the
positive side facing up?
Yes - Ensure that the battery contact tabs are
repositioned, then replace the battery.
Remove the key from the ignition, then
close the doors and trunk. Press the
LOCK button on the transmitter six times,
then go to the next step.
No - Ensure that the baftery contact tabs are
repositioned, then reinstall the batlery
correctly. Then reprogram the transmitter
and retest it. Use the procedure on page
1 30-4 f or transmitter programming.
11 . Does the transmitter LED come on when any of
