I'm having exactly the same problem in my 03 vibe the only difference is my vibe cycles through the locks after pressing and holding the two lock and unlock button then releasing and holding just a lock button it cycles through the locks again as if it accepts the fob however once exiting the vehicle it will not lock or unlock using the remote I hope you was able to get your situation figured out if you did please let me know what you did so I can try that one on mine
Programming a new fob can be a little finicky. If the locks are not cycling themselves at the end, then you did not finish the programming properly.
1. Driver door open and unlocked. Key out of the ignition
2. Insert the key and remove 2 times in 5 seconds
3. Close and open drivers door 2 times in 40 sec.
4. Insert the key and remove it from ignition again
5. Close and open drivers door 2 times in 40 sec.
6. Insert the key in ignition
7. Close the door
8. Turn to ON can back to LOCK in 1 second intervals. 1 time for ADD, 2 times for REWRITE
9. Remove the key
10. Power locks will cycle to confirm
11. For ADD or REWRITE mode within 40 sec. Of the confirmation,
A Press lock and unlock buttons of the fob at the same time between 1 and 1.5 seconds
B within 3 sec press lock button for more then 1 sec and release
C If it’s correct the power locks will cycle again. If it is not please try the procedure again
And here is a video.
