Location of MALL PGM Fuse

I just bought a new key fob for 2005 Grand Prix GTP (dealer wanted me to spend $90 dollars on new fob and programming WTF!!) off of EBAY for $13 with shipping and i can not find the MALL PGM fuse that the instructions are telling me to find and unplug. Any ideas on where I can find that fuse or does anyone have a picture of the fuse's location.

Thanks
Bmartin

The dealer is correct & the Ebay vendor lied:

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix | Grand Prix (VIN W) Service Manual | Document ID: 682874
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transmitter Programming
Important: All transmitters which are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed in a single programming sequence. If the system is placed in program mode it will erase all previously programmed transmitters upon the receipt of the programming signal from the first transmitter. Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed. Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.

Install a scan tool.
Use the scan tool in order to access programming
: Vehicle Control System/Computer Integrating System/Module Setup/BCM/Program Key Fobs.
Press the START soft key on the scan tool.
Important: The scan tool must stay connected until all of the transmitters are programmed.

Press and hold the LOCK button and the UNLOCK button simultaneously on one transmitter. After a delay of 5-10 seconds, the scan tool will indicate that the transmitter is programmed.
Repeat the previous step in order to program up to 4 transmitters.
Remove the scan tool.
Operate the transmitter functions in order to verify correct system operation.

Re: Location of MALL PGM Fuse

I bought a used #1 fob for my caddy off of ebay for $6.00... Most dealers will program even a used fob. Mine charged me 20 minutes of book time ~$40.00

Not bad when you consider the cost of the scan tool is over $2000... even if you could rent the tool it would cost over $50.
