Hi, I'm having trouble getting the anti-theft to turn off. I replaced the ignition and driver door lock plus the actuator on the rear. And passenger doors. How can I program the key with the new ignition to start the car or what else can I do to bypass anti-theft?

Hello,

Bypassing the alarm is difficult. Here are the instructions to program the remote and a guide to help you reset the system:

Program Method A (Customer Program Method)
Press (LOCK) button 5 times at 2 second intervals to resynchronize transmitter. Attempt to function transmitter, if working as designed discontinue programming.
Turn ignition to run position. (Allow ignition chimes to stop).
Using any original (working) transmitter, press the [UNLOCK] button for 4 to 10 seconds.
Within the specified 4 to 10 seconds, continue pressing the [UNLOCK] button and press the [PANIC] button for 1 second and release both buttons (AN/DN release either button first). A chime will sound to indicate that the transmitter programming mode has been entered (allow 3 seconds for chime to sound).
Press [LOCK] and [UNLOCK] buttons simultaneously for 1 second and release (a short chime will sound for AN/DN).
Press and release any button on the same transmitter and a chime will sound after successfully programming the transmitter (locks will cycle for AN/DN).

Please let us know what happens.
