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.
Ddave you said "both remotes worked, car started" Did both remotes lock and unlock the car as normal?? Not sure what exactly you mean. The car started okay, Yes, but do the doors lock and unlock as they should?
You seem to put very few miles on your car. Could be the FOBs need to be synchronized.
