Cannot reset keyless entry

[kidryancorn]

I'm driving an 04 Corolla, and have one remote that doesn't work.I've replaced the battery and that hasn't worked. I've followed the directions on resetting the keyless entry system, but after I turn the ignition from on to lock twice the locks do not reset in my car. Any ideas? Here are the directions I've followed:
1. Start with the key out of the ignition, drivers door is open all others closed and
drivers door is unlocked.

2. Perform these steps within 5 seconds.
A. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.
B. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.

3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
A. Close then open the drivers door.
B. Close then open the drivers door.
C. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.

4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
A. Close then open the drivers door.
B. Close then open the drivers door.
C. Insert the key into ignition and leave it in ignition.
D. Close the drivers door.
E. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF.
F. Remove the key from the ignition.

5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should lock then unlock automatically
indicating successful entry into programming mode.
Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.

This probably won't help any but my ex-girlfriend lost here keyless remote so I bought a new one via ebay and followed the instructions to program. Nothing worked so I took it to Toyota and the guys were nice enough to do it for free. I watched them and what they did compared to my instructions were totally different. I thought it would be a 1,2,3 step easy process. That little project turned into a deal fix. Thats rare for me so good luck with yours!!!

i just bought a 2007 toyota corolla ce, well come to find out my car was suppose to come with a keyless entry but didnt because the other owners didnt turn it in or something. Question, could i buy one off ebay, and program it and it work?

Someone missed placed the keyless entry on our 4-Runner and we bought a OEM one off ebay and it cam with instructions for programming. Well I did manage to get some of the program to operate but in the end we took the new key fob to Toyota and they did it for us. So yes, in most cases you can get a replacement off various web sites.

I had to thumb thru 11 pages of threads, but these are the instructions I followed and they worked fantastic! Had that damn remote for 2 years and never worked once. After following these instructions I finally have 2 working remotes. These sorta look like the ones you posted but may be a little differant. You gotta follow every step in the time allotted to work.
Good luck!!
