How would I do it for my 1997 STS?
Reprogramming 1996 STS Key Fob
If I get a new key fob, how do I reprogram it to work on my 1996 STS? I found something on another post, but the link was dead.

Take a look at the DLC. (diagnostic connector)
Some of the early OBD II systems had a "pin 8". If there is a terminal in pin 8 you can jumper it to pin 4 and it should activate RKE programming.
You might have to turn the key on, it has been a long time since I did it.
To know which pin is pin 8, look at the connector with the fat part on top, the narrow part with the tab in the center on bottom.
Pins 1-8 are on the top row left to right, 9-16 on the bottom.
If you don't see that in your DLC let me know.
