Hey all, I'm having a problem with my 2nd /spare keyfob. The primary keyfob we use everyday is working fine, and I just replaced the battery in both of them. I tested the new 3V batteries before installing.
Now, the 2nd /spare keyfob will not unlock/lock doors. The buttons do nothing.
When I get in the car with 2nd /spare keyfob, the dash reads "No Remote Control, Engine will not start." and also "Hold remote control to steering column". And if I do hold the 2nd /spare keyfob against the steering column juuuuust right, it will turn on and I can drive.
When I stop driving and get out, the 2nd /spare keyfob still will not lock/unlock doors.
It seems that the 2nd /spare keyfob does not need re-programming, as it still allows the car to start. I've tried 2 more (tested) 3V batteries too. All the contacts look fine.
Any suggestions? Thanks all!
