This may seem like a stupid question... Will a bad fob act like a bad SKREEM? i.e. My wife's SRT 6 had a rat eat a wire and it took about six months to get rewired. Now we have the three starts and the car will die. The person working on the car said that he had to replace the key because he broke the key. My fear is that the fob or transmitter was damaged.

Thus, I am hoping a new key fob will fix the problem (if a bad transmitter simulates the bad SKREEM)
