My dad - a GM lifer (employee and car owner) has a 2009 Vibe (his 3rd Vibe) with 41k miles. He says the remaining original key/fob will not turn the car on or remotely operate the car locks. With the key in the ignition, he can not turn the steering wheel. He says there’s a new battery in the fob and (this surprised me) the light on the fob works. Unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the country and won't see him/the car for a few weeks to check it out myself.
Any ideas what may be wrong? I’m wondering if he disconnected something when he replaced the fob battery.
