Important Notice: To program the keyless entry remote for the 1996 Buick Century, you will need to access the green programming connector located in the trunk. Follow these steps carefully to successfully program your keyless entry remote.

  • Step 1: Locate the Green Programming Connector Find the green programming connector in the left-hand (LH) trunk area. You may need to pull back the trim to access the connector. The connector has wires leading to it but is not connected to anything else.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Jumper Wire Use a jumper wire to bridge the two terminals of the green programming connector.
  • Step 3: Jump the Connector Terminals Place the jumper wire into the connector to connect the two terminals. This will trigger the system to enter programming mode.
  • Step 4: Indication of Programming Mode Once the jumper wire is connected, the system will lock and unlock the doors and trunk lid. This confirms that the system has entered programming mode. Ensure that the trunk lid has activated before proceeding.
  • Step 5: Press a Button on the Remote Press any button on the keyless remote once. The system should lock and unlock the doors and trunk lid, indicating that the remote has been successfully programmed.
  • Step 6: Program Additional Remotes If you have additional remotes to program, repeat Step 5 for each remote. The system can accommodate up to two remotes.
  • Step 7: Maximum Limit of Remotes Note that the system supports a maximum of two keyless remotes. If you wish to add more remotes, you will need to erase any previously programmed remotes.
  • Step 8: Exit Programming Mode Once all remotes are programmed, remove the jumper wire from the programming connector to exit programming mode.
  • Step 9: Test Each Remote Test each programmed remote by pressing the button to ensure the doors and trunk lid lock and unlock properly. Verify that all keyless entry functions work as expected.
  • Step 10: Final Check Ensure that all remotes are fully operational, including the functions for locking, unlocking, and trunk release.
