Default Keyless remote programming??

My keyless remote isn't working. I tried changing that battery but I didn't think that was it. Can someone look in the owners manual and tell me how to program it. I had to do it myself when the van was new, but I can't seem to locate the owners manual.

Thanks

Andre

Does anyone have a resource for programming a new key with only one programmed key? I got a new key but my instruction said I need to have two programmed keys to program an add on key. Unfortunately the dealer I purchased my van from bailed on their promise to get me another key after I left the lot.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

CAUTION: All remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitters must be programmed at the same time.



The vehicle must be electronically unlocked before entering program mode (via RKE, RKE keypad (if equipped) or door lock control switch while the driver door is open.
Turn the key from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds , with the eighth turn ending in RUN. If the module has successfully entered program mode, it will lock and then unlock all doors.
Within 20 seconds , press any button on an RKE transmitter, and the doors will lock and then unlock to confirm that each RKE transmitter has been programmed. Repeat this step for each RKE transmitter.
If the door locks do not respond for any RKE transmitter, wait several seconds and press the button again. If the door locks still fail to respond, refer to Inspection and Verification. Make sure that no more than the maximum number of RKE transmitters are attempted to be programmed. See: Body and Frame\Locks\Power Locks\Testing and Inspection\Initial Inspection\Inspection and Verification
Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following occurs:
The key transitions to the OFF position.
20 seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since the last RKE transmitter was programmed.
The maximum number of RKE transmitters have been programmed.

thankyou so much this is the same worded differenet that I found and helped
I found this on a Google Forum:

For the '99's, the Owner's manual says -
1) Turn key from OFF to ON eight times within 10 seconds ending
in the ON position.
2) After doors lock then unlock, press any button on the
remote being programmed.
3) The doors should lock/unlock to confirm programming.
4) Turn key to OFF and door locks should cycle one last time.

You can program up to four remotes this way, but they must
all be done at the same time (repeat step 2 for each).

The chip key will need to be programed by a dealer or a locksmith.
