Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Tonight the red light on the key remote went on and stayed on continuosly. The remote would not work when this happened. So, I took key apart, took battery out, replaced same battery, still have same problem. I thought maybe the buttons were stuck but I took the piece out of the key head and pushed the buttons and that doesn't help. I finally now have taken the battery completely out so I don't run it down while trying to figure out what's wrong. Any help or anyone had this happen before?? Thanks, Mike

POST 2Original post

I do not remember this problem until the 3 button remote came out in 2001. Try a new battery. If that does not work then put the battery in upside down for 10 seconds, then put it back in the correct way. If that does not work the remote may need to be replaced.

Thanks Toolpants, I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. Mike
