Re: Key fob not working
Check again, the direction of the batteries (and 2 each). Then you have to make sure the FOB is sync'ed to the car for the doors to work. Do a search on how to do this, maybe 'sync key fob?' Am wondering if the FOB worked before changing the batteries? Good luck on this issue.

Pressing the open or the close button from too far away from the car will require the fob to be reset.
Re: Key fob not working
If the battery in the key fob goes bad, will you have trouble starting the car? I am having issues starting the car after it has sat for a couple weeks. The battery on the car is great. The engine turns and turns but it won't start. Once it starts the car runs great and will start up every time. Just wondering if maybe my battery in the fob is the problem. I owned the car 14 years and I don't I ever replaced it.

I am convinced that has caused some of the odd little issues over the years.

Re: Key fob not working
Once you insert the key and turn it to "ON", the SKREEM powers up and energizes the ring around the key, energy is radiated to the RFID chip in the key, the RFID responds with a TINY RF (radio) signal, that has a code in it the SKREEM uses to know that the key is authentic. Power for this function, again, comes from the antenna ring.

Re: Key fob not working
Now quite - this is how it is:
AM and FM are modulation techniques. (As are CW, FSK, C4FM, LSM...)
VHF and UHF are wavelengths. (As are LF, MF and HF (known as shortwave), Microwave...)
But............
TINY is a signal level. (It goes like this: imperceptible, tiny, very very weak, very weak, weak, moderate, strong, intense and bodacious* )
*1970's era CBer's came up with "bodacious" as applied to signal levels.
