Do a search for Key FOB and I'll bet you'll find all the info you need.

Chances are you're not missing anything.
Sometimes these remotes just die and there's nothing you can do except buy a new one.

For what its worth, my key fob was getting weak so i put a new battery in it and its fine now. I checked the old battery and it read on a digital multimeter 3.5 volts. So it shows you cant go by the volts.

Also, sometimes the contacts do not make good contact with the battery. Make sure the contacts are clean and you may need to bend them a little to insure they are making good contact. As someone else mentioned though, the FOBs can die over time. Good luck.
