Well, I got it to work!
I first took the 2 chips I hadn't tried and confirmed they were good by testing them in the remote. Then I replaced the chip I had earlier put into the alarm with one of them. I also wiggled and examined the 2 relays on the bracket attached to the alarm. When I tried the remote, the alarm chirped at me! But the central locking still wasn't working.
I had another problem and I decided to work on that for awhile.
My car's electrical power has been cutting out for a second or so every once in awhile. In previous attempts to fix it, I had replaced the voltage regulator and a frayed cable between the alternator and starter.
Following the directions that came with my newly purchased multimeter, I found that the charging voltage of my electrical system was only 9.5v! It should be around 13.5v. This seemed to point at the alternator. There is a little metal tab on the alternator that takes a push-on connection. There wasn't anything on it. I found it's mate dangling down next to the manifold and pushed it on. There was a whirring and clicking noise. When I tested my charging voltage it had jumped to 13.5v. So I suspect my electrical problem is fixed.
As a bonus, when I tried the remote, the central locking worked.
Ken, thanks for your help!
