Edit Answer (for another 15 minutes)

Here is the procedure:

1. Turn ignition switch "Off".
   
2. Using a fused jumper, jumper Data Link Connector terminal 8 (BLK/WHT) to terminal 4 (BLK).
   
3. Turn ignition switch "ON".
   
4. Press and hold "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" button on one transmitter. Doors lock and unlock.
   
5. Repeat step 3 using the other transmitter. if only one transmitter is being used go to step 4.
   
6. Disconnect jumper from Data Link Connector (DLC).

As your looking at the DLC under the dash ,Top row start counting from the left to #4 and #8 is at the end of the top row..
Verify colors...before jumping it.

Let me know if it works for you!
