i believe u can do it with the engine running or just the key "ON". But anyhow just turn the screw fully clockwise..one full rotation and stop and wait 2 seconds (theres no click just realize the one full turn) then back fully counter clockwise one full rotation and you'll get a series of flashes. There are 2 sets of flashes. The first is long slow intervals and the second is short fast ones...if you get two short intervals and 4 fast ones then the code is a 24

are you sure you turned it one full time and nothing past one full rotation. it has to be one full exact rotation clockwise then wait 2 seconds..did u wait two seconds and then back counterclockwise one full exact rotation. did you do it with the key on or the engine running.
