Works sometime, doesn't work sometime, works further away, then won't work until right on top of the A pillar. Today I tried it and even though the red light lite up strongly(copy right trump, in fact, I think he claims he invented the word) it wouldn't unlock crap doodie!

Ohh HELL NAW!! Now I'm going to have to start a bunch of threads asking what to do, how to do and why to do it. I know it's going to cost me a fortune! Oh the HUMANITY! Wait I have another key...Damn! I never got around to having it programed to the car. ALL is LOST! Strong gnashing of teeth, sweat, anxiety, pacing, fear, delusions, illusions...Hell I now know what Macbeth went through "Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible to feeling as to sight? Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?" Heat-oppressed brain...yeah that's it!

Wait...stupid try a new battery; there is a new 2032 in the drawer. Exchanged the battery(did not put it in upside down to make the unexplainable occur to make every thing normal again). Walked tentatively towards the garage with sweaty palms. Opened the door, closed my eyes, pushed the button from some 15 feet distant and heard the satisfyingly click of the door unlocking followed by the headlight response. VICTORY!!!

Sometimes it is just the simple things...even with a car of the Gods...

There is a place downtown where she would have to put the key up to the center of the windshield over the sensor (it's in the little plastic bit where the "armed" light flashes) to get it to register. That parking spot was about 20' from a TV broadcast tower...

But yeah, the battery is the first place to start
