I Can't Program a 3rd Key to a Dodge Caravan

I have a 2005 Dodge Caravan with 2 working keys.  I tried to self-program a 3rd.

 
Key A). is the key that came with the car
Key B).  Is one I bought at Ace Hardware (cost $80)
Key C). is a chip key I bought off Ebay.  It was blank when I bought it
I had it cut.
 
Keys A+B start the car and I tried to program C myself.  I followed the directions on inserting the 1st two working keys.  The van never gave a chime on the 2nd key nor did the security light ever flash for me to program a 3rd key.   I believe the problem is that:  Key A has a clicker and key B does not.  Because when I use key B, the clicker on A doesn't work anymore.  I have to insert key A back in the ignition for the clicker to work again.  I think I would be able to program C if either I had 2 A keys or 2 B keys.  Not one of each.  (Unless B is the 8th key to the car, I highly doubt that!  But 8 keys is the max that can be programmed to the car).  I posted this in case anyone else runs into this problem!  Because the directions/owners manual said all I needed were 2 working keys.  Well A + B are working keys and it still wouldn't let me program a 3rd.
