    Just bought key fobs off Amazon and researched how to program them. My problem is during the 10 lock/unlock button sequences my locks stop responding and just slight clicks. Sounds like weak solenoids. After about 6 attempts at programming I decided to hook up jumper cables from the wife's car, same result... Any ideas on whats going on? Thanks

    If you have weak lock actuators on one of the doors you will have to recruit friends. So you basically manually lock and unlock the non working door, if the faulty door is the hatch, you'll have to replace the actuator.
