Default Key Fob

I 'm having a problem with key fob #1 I will go throught the steps to train the Fob. It will unlock and lock the vehicle a number of times then it won't work at all. I did replace the battery. Same problem. Any suggestions?

Are you having the same problems with your other FOB(s) or just the #1 FOB? If not, your #1 FOB may be dying. They can go bad over time. Also, check the metal contacts to insure they are clean and making good contact with the battery. You may need to bend the contacts just a little to insure good contact with the battery. Good luck.

It may be time for a new fob, otherwise a good cleaning may be in order. If more than one fob exhibits this behavior, it could mean time for a new receiver.
