1997 Buick Lesabre Remote Programming

4 Comments

Programming Instructions: [smartads]

Turn the Lesabre’s key to OFF. Leave it in the ignition. Open the driver’s door. Find the OBD data port on the left side of the dash, beneath the steering wheel. Insert a jumper pin into pins 8 and 4. The doors will lock and unlock. Close the driver’s door. Turn the ignition key to ON. Wait a few seconds, and then push and hold LOCK and UNLOCK on the key fob you are programming. Wait for the doors to unlock and lock. This takes about a minute. The remote is programmed.

      Hey Ronnie. I tried to look it up but the VIN decoder said “N/A.” I would suggest contacting a GM dealer and asking for the service department. Someone there will be able to look up your build sheet for free.

    Where can I buy, or what can I use as a jumper pin?
