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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Key will no longer open or lock doors. Checked engine lid, boot, passenger door, etc, changed key fob battery. Any ideas short of going to the dealer and dropping $500? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I will also be interested in the answers on this question. My key still works but it usually takes a couple of tries and holding it up closer to the window. About 10% of the time I get tired of trying and have to lock or unlock the old fashioned way. I changed batteries in both sets of keys but it did not seem to make a difference. I never used to have this problem, it would unlock from a decent distance.

read this first: remote

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info..........tried all the suggestions, no luck. Looks like a trip to the dealer

POST 5Original post

I believe someone had a write-up on removing the driver side A-pillar and stripping the sheath off of the antenna wire to increase reception.

POST 9Original post

Anyone have their key remote not function if you haven't driven the car in a few days? the remote does nothing, unlock the door with key, drive a few minutes, get out and it's all back to normal again!?

I understand this is a 'battery saving' feature and completely normal. Mine sat for a week and would only unlock with the key. Worked fine after that.

POST 11Original post

Automatically does this after five days to preserve the battery. It's in the manual.

POST 12Original post

Quotes source post: 5120754

As UFO stated, this is normal. After 5 days the car systems "go to sleep." If you unlock the car by inserting the key into the door, it "awakens" the systems. Everything should function as usual after that occurs.
