Key FOB SOB

Key FOB failed to function as of after work today. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Had to key my way in old school style. Got home and tried the spare FOB, worked fine. Tried the primary one again, nothing. Nada. Zilch. Almost a year to the day I took delivery (see sig).

Possible just a battery,,One of mine worked then did not.
Dealer found it faulty, and they replaced it.
Just remember to take both to the dealer so they can both be programed together.

Good Luck!

Dumb question, but you have checked the battery, right? I had a key fob stop working and found it was a dead battery. Changed it and all was fine. Less than 3 months later, it died again. Battery was dead. Long story short, 2 more batteries later and I found that when I put my keys in my brief case after arriving at work, there was pressure put on the buttons so it was in a near-constant state of transmission. Ran the batteries down quickly.

Lone Ranger, hi ho buddy, surely you are under 36K, take it to the dealer and have it replaced. Take the other one with you, they must program both at the same time.

My faulty (whether battery or wire) FOB was taken care of this way.
