Keyless Entry Programming Issue:

My battery went out on my one key fob for my '02 F350 a while back. I got a new battery and purchased two new fobs.

So I went through the programming process:

- open drivers door
- hit unlock button
- insert key into ignition
- cycle from off to on 8 times within 10 seconds
- door locks cycle
- I press one button on each of the fobs
- the door locks cycle again after a button is pressed each fob
- after the door locks cycle from the third fob,
- I turn the key to the off position
- door locks cycle again.

That all happens just like it's supposed to. I've read the instructions on several websites and they're pretty much the same.

So after the process above is done, I get out of the truck, close the door, hit the unlock/lock/panic button and nothing happens. WTF am I doing wrong???
