Have you changed the battery in the FOB?

I know how you feel... Had the same problem with my wife the last time I was away for two months...   :P

Stupid question: you did try with your second FOB, wright?   ???


... Other option: verify the address of that house to make sure it's yours...   ;)


More seriously, I had a problem like that and changed the FOB battery for another defective battery.  Took me a couple of hours to figure that out...



Good luck !!

I got the pin changed to something I would remember and wrote in my book to be double safe.

It was a random number as far as I could tell. It didn't match the VIN or any address of any of the 3 dealerships they own Zip or street number.

If I had to guess, I would say I bought a 2 pack of dead batteries from the store. I did have both fobs. I made sure to put them in the same way I took them out so I would be able to flip them again if they didn't work a second time.

I deserve the  :dunce: for putting off changing the pin number!!! Lesson learned.

Thanks for the help

glad that you got it figured out.  now what you need to do is to practice using your override code a couple of times so that if you ever need to use it (again), you'll be able to knock it out without a lot of hassle

Of course !!!

eBay (don't buy from China).  They are usually good for ten years, Sony quality, no problem.

I bought 50 for $8 last year shipping included.  Just verified, you can get 50 from NY for less than $20 plus shipping.  If you search  further, you will find them for less...

Cheers. !   :beerchug:

Simple advice... At that price, I put new ones every spring.  Don't care if they can last for 5 years, I just can't remember my PIN...   >:(

I used something I cant forget.....I have used it a couple times to make sure I know the procedure.

I bought my batteries from the grocery store, It sure screwed me because I got so mad I would have sold it if one of my friends offered to buy it.

batterybob.com ships from FL and they're brand name batteries. Free shipping conus, usually 5% off coupon codes on the net. He's even got conversions for oddball numbers. My Ride-On TPMS caps died and had a weird battery number. Ride-On wants to charge you $8 per unit plus return shipping to change the batteries. I did it myself and have enough batteries left to do each one two more times all for $5.65

On another note, I keep a piece of cellophane separating the battery from the contact on my spare fob. This way you're not wasting away another battery every year.
