FOB is dead
OK, I stick the fob in my pocket, go to the garage and the rear hatch won't open.....try the door and it won't open. I start sweating, remembering the forum comments about dead FOB's and dead batteries and I'm thinking, "oh no, it's my turn".....go back to the forum, FAQ's and look through for everything that could have gone wrong.... return to the garage, looking through the car, starting to sweat again when my daughter asks, "has anyone seen my car keys?".....Oh, sh*t I think, I didn't do something as stupid as put her keys in my pocket.....no, not me..... well, yep.....gave my daughter her keys as she eyed me strangely and went and got my fob --- everything works great......hhhmmmm, stupid dad trick of the day.

We've got our keys mounted by the back door, with a label on each hook.
Takes real guts to start a thread like BriJac did.
