Does your other remote work? I left mine in my jeans and it went thru the washer, the red light did not come on when holding the button. I decided what the heck, and popped the two halves apart, corrosion! I cleaned the board with alchohol, got batteries, put together and got light.
Re-sync is covered in the manual, something like "aim remote, push button, and unlock door with key" it worked!
My 92 had the square remotes( one got lost), I odered a $140 replacement and it came with the key but this one is smaller and has a loop for a key ring, ordered another!
I have been told that they are coded to the car, but have not been able to verify. i dont know how many variations there are, but there was a number stamped on the cicuit board.
