Default Positive On Fobs

Just thought I'd post something positive on the key fob syndrome! Both my fobs quit at the same time. Couldn't imagine it being the batteries. Well.................. I've got good news............. 2 new Energizers & $6 later we're back in the saddle again!

I just posted here yesterday that both of ours were "acting up" - memory functions would not work for setting #2, Window Valet wasn't working properly, and I had to be practically touching the car for it to lock & unlock. I took them both apart and gave them a thorough (yet careful) cleaning with contact cleaner and a soft cloth, retrained both and now everything, including memory and Window Valet are working perfectly. I consider myself one of the lucky ones!
