Help with PKE question / problem
Just bought a 93 Ruby. 
The previous owner still had the key fob in the original package. He said he did not use it. I followed the program in the book and when I press the trip/odo button twice, then the fuel/info button, nothing happens. Also, I noticed when I push the gauge button to get the read out on the dash, nothing happens. 
Did not know how it worked untill after I got it home. Any ideas. Other than that, the car is near perfect, only 8,000 miles, new tires and he just replaced the opti since the gasket on the water pump failed Not a good pic

The battery is the first thing I thought of too. Its a pretty old Battery. I just got one of the new design fobs for Christmas grom the "Stealership" and the battery is going already. It started real strong, now my range has decreased some since I programmed it. It is very nice to have though. I went without it for over five years and now I'm glad I got one.
