Jimmy - it's a fob not a flob - maybe it needs a new battery?

Jimmy,
Usually, when you've changed the battery and it won't stay programmed and in your case the passive switch is malfunctioning it's time to buy a new one. Since you only have one remote it would be a good idea to get another one to have for backup and it would also let you know if the non-working remote is the problem or something else.
