Car Alarms: programing remote, car alarm systems, gm dealer

Question
I have a 1997 Grand Prix GT, the remote did open the trunk at one time, but does nothing now. The GM dealer found the remote tested OK and wants a small fortune to determine why it doesn't respond to the usual programing methods.
I have tried 3 slightly different programing steps found on the web, none worked.
If there is only one correct way to program the remote where can I find it. And, if the receiver could be bad, where is that on the car and is there a test for its operation.
Thanks for your advice.
John

THIS IS AN AUTO RESPONDER...

Sorry, no. This is not part of

If you did not read the BIG note
I left at ALLEXPERTS.com concerning
programming issues, please look again
at the ALLEXPERTS.COM-ALARMTEK front page

I do not sell replacements remotes,
or provide programming for remotes,
or supply info on feature settings
for manufacturers car alarm systems.

Still true.
Sorry about that.
