Hmmm so no ideas huh? I don’t think there are any in there my scanner didn’t see any. They are a very well known locksmith too I’d hope they would know!

#29 on the BCM is the power windows.
It is the RCDLR that needs programming for the fob and TPMS.
'08 models need a RCDLR firmware update for the TPM to work after a power outage. That should not affect the remote door locks, unless somebody tried to repair something.

Here it is if you think it will help:
as Donbrew states you need to have the RCDLR reprogram preformed. Usually a dealership has to do this .

They are trying to be precise. Your bench DC power supply has ground and positive; don't call it a power supply then?
"Ground" for digital circuits is 0 volts not ground to battery.
Digital low ref can be 0-3 volts, but dead constant, usually 0 because it is easier. Which is why many think 0 is the same as ground.
