Both keyless remote dead
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 3:17 am
Hey guys,Both my keyless remotes stopped working at the same time this morning.They were working fine one minute and then dead the next.I doubt that this is a battery issue since both remotes were working fine earlier today and I have not experienced a loss of effectiveness or diminushed range as would possibly be the case with a near-dead battery. The little red light on each remote is still working.The only thing I can see that might have an effect is that the minute before, I checked the car's mileage so I put the key in the ignition and set the starter to "electric" just to light up the gauges and then turned everything off. After that, I couldn't lock the car with either remotes. I know that in some cars, having a key in the ignition will disable the remotes so I took the car for a quick ride thinking maybe the ignition-sensor-thing might have still thought a key was in but it didn't work.I found a few stories of 1 remote that stopped working and needed reprogramming but never both remotes at once.*EDIT*Well, nevermind that.The car has been sitting in the driveway for 5 hours and both remotes now work normally. I guess it's one of those "best not to try to understand" moment.
