Remote Keyless Entry Problem
Hi!
Hopefully someone out there can help me with a weird problem I'm having.
Both of my key fobs have stopped working. I've checked their batteries and they are good.
The only thing I can figure is I disconnected the car battery ( actaully it went dead but that's another problem ) over the winter and now the keyless does not work.
Is there a re-porgramming necessary when the car battery is removed like with programmable radio stations? That's the only explanation I can think of.
As always, thanks in advance for any help!

Turn the key to on and press the lock and unlock buttons at the same time. The horn will sound when it is reproggramed. :cheers:

Re: Remote Keyless Entry Problem (MidlandZR1)
If that doesn't work, there's a more lengthy procedure to reprogram your fob using the options buttons on the C5. You can do a search here on the forum for "key fob" -- a few months ago I remember someone posted the how-to. (Basically, you press the options buttons until nothing appears on the DIC (kind of like a secret stealth operation) :jester and that puts you into reprogram mode. Need more help, just IM me.
