Default Blasted key fob's

well, neither of my two key fobs work on the vette anymore. they both never really worked that great and had to be on top of the car to get either to work. now they completely don't work and i cannot lock my doors. my question is has something greater than just the key fob's battery decided to die?

also, were can i get some new fob's?

Based on my experience, skip the ebay Fobs often they are messed up. I got two losers in a row
Buy a new one from Fred Beans and run through the Fob setup in your owner's manual.

The owners manual says they last about three years (2002, at least). Mine still works but the range seems shorter so I'm getting a new battery this afternoon.
