With the help of advice this forum, I unplugged battery, gave it some time, and when I reconnected power things seemed to work fine again (both remotes worked, car started...).
Question: did I successfully reset the SKREEM and I can expect smooth sailing here on out; or in people's experience is this problem likely to recur, and maybe even get more frequent? (I will replace the module if needed, but hoping to avoid it - SKREEM rebuild is $600 + my lost weekend(s) to do the work)
TIA for any insights.
I think there is a fairly good chance you will be OK. I've encountered a lady in Arkansas that had the same thing happpen, that was over two years ago and shes not had aproblem since.
I WOULD STRONGLY suggest you do the James1549 ground cable mod, and make sure all battery connections are clean and tight. I"ve done the mod to my last two Roadsters and we do it at tech days quite often.
