key fobs are inop
So the other day both my key fobs stopped working. I replaced the battery in my main one to see if that was the issue, but it wasnt. Also, now the seat doesnt go to the memory position when I insert the key. Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?

Did you disconnect your car battery or did it lose it's charge? If so, you'll lose your "sync" between your FOB and the car. The receiver unit is located by the driver side rear tire. Try standing next to it and simply hold the Lock and Unlock buttons on your FOB simultaneously for approx 15 seconds. You'll hear the horn "chirp" to let you know they've been re-synced. See if that gets you going.....
