Default Re: key fob won't work, alarm goes off - stuck!

The 1800 number directed me to the dealership. I was told by 2 people in the service dept. that I need to get the module replaced and that I should call a tow truck. I refused to believe this and found this thread after a 20 min web search. Thank g-d! I took the #10 wrench and my ear plugs out and sure enough. After disconnecting the +battery cable for 1 minute... It worked! The alarm did not come back on. The stuck key came right out and now it all seems to be working properly. Thank you for this post. I will repost if it happens again!
Same thing happened to us, got it fixed the same way. I've heard this is a programing error that the dealership should fix (under warrenty?) so that it won't happen again.
