So I put a battery charger on the car and got it juiced up. Nothing would work on the car. When I push the start or accessory button it just says no fob detected. I went through all the fuses in the under hood box and found 3 burnt. I find this is very common with the wrecks I get, they seem to burn fuses upon impact. I checked all the ones in the passenger footwell and found none blown.
Now, I can move the power seats, pop the hatch and gas door, the electric door latches are working intermittently. When I push down on the acc. Button the acc. Only stays on for a second. Like with the windshield wipers on I can push acc. And they will move a little bit, push it again and they move a bit more but the acc. Will not stay on. The stereo,ac controls etc stay dead.

I tried to make it go into program mode for the new fob but when you turn the key 5 times it does nothing. Nothing comes up on the display, all dark and dead.

Are there more hidden fuses somewhere that I might check? Anyone have any idea what’s going on with this thing?

Will only stay on for a fraction of a second and the radio/Ac panel etc seems to have no power even then. I’ll get serious with it when the fob shows up. Thanks.

I don’t know what it’s problem was the other day but I pulled the cable repeatedly today and it went right into program mode. I can’t wait for the fob to show up so I can run this thing. ��

I only buy them to dismantle but I feel better asking a bit more if I know it runs. If at all possible I get them running and test everything. I thought I might be out of luck on this car but you saved me. Thanks a hundred times.
