I had the same problem on my Vectra B. Mine had refused to turn and I used Graphite powder and played with the key until it turned. it come in a little "puff pack"

You turn the key to the ll position or second click and press the remote pad to open the car. The central locking and indicators for the immobilizer should activate and that is the key programmed. Hope this helps.
you have to ring up your local vauxhall dealer and see if they an get hold of one charge is about 25 pound and then u need a diagnostics kit to set the immobilizer to they the transponder in your key, if your having problems chack u have a transponder in your key or the pass codes will be useless.
Two wire connection in the fob. Open and check both wires are fix in place.
if the alarm goes off and the electrics on the key wont stop it - don't panic at the racket - but simply use the key and manually unlock the Vectra - then put key straight into ignition; alarm may stop at this point but if not then take tyhe last step needed to 'cut it' and merely turn on the ignition/start the car with the actual cut key.
As you may know the key can normally be re-programmed to the central locking by turning on the ignition and pressing either of the buttons. If this fails there are two common faults 1/ the battery holder inside the key has come off of the printed circuit board (if you pack the key with tissuse paper to hold the battery tight this gets over that problem. 2/ the key has lost its connection to the computer and will need to go to a vauxhall dealer to have it programmed, they use a machine called tech 2 and to programme that or any key they will need the immobilizer (security) code number. this was originally supplied with the car at time of purchase. If you have lost it a Vauxhall Dealer can get a new code but this is not cheap.
