Default reptile tune

I recently bought a tune from the guy on grandprix forum and here I am for 2 hours trying every which way to get the pcm to work. Im thinking its in the tune but not sure, I did every way I can think of to get it to work...

Just won't turnover? Did you go through the security relearn?

When you did this relearn did you have everything close, doors and truck etc??? Not a low voltage battery?

It won't even crank? Dead battery possibly?

It's hard to tell though because it won't crank when doing that procedure; at least my Monte didn't until the relearn was completed successfully...
