Default Re: Key Fob - Keeps Draining New Batteries Within 5 Days **Please Help**

I have been advised the only option for that is to have a new fob, gutted!


As for the 2nd fob, i have been advised it just seems that it isn't synced to my alarm to unlock or lock (no orange flashes etc or unlocking when press buttons but will still start and run the car).
Unfortunately the common re-sync doesn't seem to work with my fob (2 button) so i will need to take it to Chrysler to have that one sorted as well

Is the common sync:

Press button twice (lock or unlock)
Within 30 seconds insert key in to barrel and turn to 'on/run' and start the engine
Wait 30 seconds then try pressing the buttons again and hope for success?


Thanks again guys, your advice paid off and helped identify it is the fob with a constant drain
The instructions do not say start the engine, just turn to the ON position.
Another set of instructions say to point the fob at the car before doing your method.
