Default No FOB`s detected?

I changed the battery`s, set in position according to the manual, get no fob reading on either fob`s? Set them where manual said they could be read the easiest. Of course the car wont start? Car Battery is good. Some advice pls, before I go to ye` old dealer? Thanks

Put a fob in the slot inside the glovebox, with the buttons toward the passenger side of the car. See if the car will start with the fob there. Supposedly, the car should start, even if the battery in the fob is dead.

Maybe you put the batteries in upside down. Maybe there are loose connections inside the fob.

What kind of fob reading were you expecting?

Tried it, no difference. Batteries are in right, I dont think there`s a bad connection on BOTH? Just reads no FOB and car just clicks(kinda) when button is pushed. Have had this car 12 yrs first time this has happened?

Can you lock/unlock the doors with either fob?

Are you saying neither of the fobs work in the glove box slot?

Have you recently changed your house security system? Installed any new lighting? New WiFi? any of these (and many other things) may cause interference.

You said the car just clicks when attempting a start? Sounds like a weak battery or a loose connection. How do you know the car battery is "good?"

Got it started with the glovebox method. Took it out for a run. Dont know why this happened? Lets see what happens next if anything. This car does weird electrical stuff, which I wont get into,lol. Thank you all for your replies.

Fobs won't work without the slot in the glove box if there's an external high electronic force near the car.

The battery could be good but the connection down by starter could be going? Another place to look and see.

If you have interior LEDs that can interfere it. If so then start by taking out one by one to see which one is causing it. This happened to me.
