Default 2008 FOB doesn't work

I have an '08 coupe, FOB #1 works but #2 doesn't. I have replaced the batteries it worked once after I replaced it and now it doesn't work again.

Any suggestions.

Thanks

I inserted in glove box and it worked. I removed it then tried starting and it didn't work. When you try to unlock it from the FOB it doesn't work.

Thanks for your quick response.

If the replacement battery isn't smooth it won't make a good connection. See if squeezing the FOB helps. It did with mine when I had a battery that wasn't smooth.

Those symptoms are certainly consistent with a fob that is not getting power. Could be dead or low fob battery or battery installed incorrectly...take a look at the DIY at the beginning of C6 general.

All the Ray-O-Vac batteries I've seen for the C6 had a rough texture to one side of the battery. Don't use those.
