key fobs not responding to car

FactoryFast · 04-18-2012, 09:48 PM

both key fobs are suddenly useless, i have to use the built in key to lock/unlock the car. Also inside the car the comofort access does not work, i cannot lock/unlock or start car. Key must be in the ignition to start.

any ideas?

Im going to read the manual later on. thanks.

Could be that your battery is dead. Did you leave anything plugged in like a CAN Tool?

That exact scenario happened when I left my CAN Tool in overnight.

Must be the battery on the key fob.

As everyone else said check the key fob battery first. Here is the thread on this problem.

Must have just been confusion on my part....just put your key fob in the slot as if you didn't have comfort access and your car will charge your key.
