Guest Shaffer Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Does anyone know the technique to program the keyless entry on a early 90s Park Avenue? I bought a new remote for my car (old one was broken) and I need to get it programmed. I may have to take it to the dealer. On my 95 Concorde- I had to get a new remote, as the previous owner had lost the old remote. Someone on the Chrysler group said on some Chryslers, there was a technique listed in the owners manual to do it yourself, but I never could find it, so I took it to the dealer and they programmed it for $20.00. I was wondering if Buick also had a technique I could do to program it myself, rather than taking it to the dealer. Any info appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 First thing is to make sure that the remote you have is correct for that year and model of vehicle. They did change from year to year, typically, even though they might look the same (the keyless entry transmitter). Matching the FCC number on the back might be one way if you bought it used.Second, when you do the programming procedure, make sure to have ALL of the remotes there at the same time. The programming procedure basically clears the memory in the receiver and starts over so if you only program one, that's all it'll recognize. I think the vehicle receiver can be programmed for up to 3 or 4 remotes on the same programming procedure.I think the procedure for those earlier vehicles is pretty simple, but must be followed correctly. It might be listed in the owner's manual too.If, for some reason, you can't get them programmed, the first thing to check would be to put a fresh battery in the transmitter(s) AND make sure they are correct for the vehicle. When programmed, all of the functions should work and not just part of them. If just part of them work, the transmitter(s) probably might not be correct for that vehicle as to model year and model of vehicle.Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Thanks. I do not have a owners manual, so I guess I will purchase one on E-Bay. I am certain I have the correct remote, as when I looked for one on E-Bay, I made sure the numbers on the back of my old remote was the same as the one on the remote I was bidding on. It is one of the rarer remote numbers. Severel looked the same, but you are right- the numbers are different. My car has the "rarer" remote. I only have one remote, plus the old broken remote. Hopefully I can get it programmed myself. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Racicot Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Shaffer, I do have an owner manual for my 91 and the programmation of the remotes is explained in it. I'll have a look at it tomorrow and I'll tell you how to do it. I remember that you have to jump two terminals on a connector near the steering column and the doors then lock and unlock to show that the previous codes were erased but I don't remember wich ones...

Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 just forget that nonsense and use the key like everybody did for nearly 80 years before 911 emergency, GPS, cellulite phones, and Martha Stewart. Geeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Racicot Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 1965PackardV12 <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> , Nonsense?? I don't care if my older cars do not have keyless entry but I and most other people likes this feature on their newer cars. Are you the kind of person that throws away your t.v.'s remote control because it wont exercise you to change your channels? I think that most Buick Park Avenue owners are a bit conservative (myself included) but not that much! I am also wondering if 80 years ago many people locked their car doors? In 1923, car thefts were certainly not as common and most cars did not have side windows! If we had the same reaction everytime that things progressed, today's cars wouldn't be air conditionned or have power brakes or steering. Maybe they wouldn't have any kind of engines or wheels on them! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />Wouldn't you really rather have a car like that?

Guest imported_PackardV8 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 yeah, and the next thing will be those locking wheel covers and disappearing tailgates. What a farse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Racicot Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Tony I checked in my 1991 owner's manual and it mentions that for programming your remotes, you have to locate the 12 pin connector above the accelerator pedal and jump the terminals "A" and "G". This will erase the memory and will cause the doors to lock and unlock once. Then press once the unlock button on the first transmitter after press again once the unlock button on the second transmitter (if you have one). Finally remove the jumper wire and test your remotes. If it fails to work check your battries and repeat the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Thanks Phillippe. I am thinking that "12 pin" connector is the same little plug under the driver dash, where you also check "check engine" light codes. Most 80s and 90s GM cars have them there. When you say "jump" the connectors-do I just put a wire in each connector? Thanks again for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philippe Racicot Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hi Tony, sorry for my imprecision, you are right: the two terminals needs to get connected to each other with a wire. I'm not used to speak English so I might be unclear sometimes! By the way, your previous post was funny <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaffer Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Thanks for the info. I will try to program it this week. It is going to the shop Tuesday to get a new transmission mount installed and perhaps new rear shocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
