I recently put fresh batteries in the keyfob, assuming that was the issue, but that didn't help. (A battery tester confirms the batteries have a good charge too.)
If I do the procedure to turn the ignition to the "run" position and press the door open button twice, it pairs up and works for maybe 2 or 3 times after that. Then the car quits responding to it again.
This fits the pre-mortem symptoms of my OEM fob, recently laid to rest in the "Spares" bin.
And it started acting up 3 weeks ago on the Dragon, no less. Finally expired after I'd been home for 2 days. Wife's OEM works fine and from an impressive distance. Mine-just-died.
Sometimes it would Unlock, but not lock. Sometimes it would. Sometimes-nothing.
