Programming '03 Buick LeSabre Keyless Entry

My kid lost one of the two keyless entry fobs for our 2003 LeSabre.

I bought a replacement on eBay, but it arrived without any programming
instructions.

Is the programming something I can do through a procedure like switching
the ignition on and off in a pattern, and if so how? Will I have to
reprogram the other fob at the same time?

If programming requires connecting a scan tool, can I just jury rig a
jumper between the correct interface connector pins to get the job done?

Thanks guys,

Jeff

Check your owner's manual. The procedure should be there.

Thanks, but I did that before I asked here.

Manual says, "Go see your Dealer."
