I replaced both batteries, and still neither worked.

I could try finding a schematic and see how changing all the capacitors out works.

Since then I've been using the key in the lock to lock the car.
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.

Outcome without a verified action link
Over the course of about a week, one key fob stopped working - I then tried the other, but it didn't work either.
I did something today that reminded me of that thread the about "I love a dirty Porsche"...
Several months ago, my keyless entry stopped working. Put new batteries in both remotes, and checked for a blown fuse - no dice. Since then I've been using the key in the lock to lock the car.
I was at work late tonight, when I got to the car it was 11 degrees, and the lock cylinder had frozen. I couldn't put the key in.
So, I kneel down, put my lips to the door handle and exhale about 6 deep breaths into the lock. That thawed it out, and I was in business! (Hopefully no one saw me... looking like some pervert kissing a 911!)
Normally in the electronics items it is flaky capacitors. They dry out over time which I don't doubt about the keys. Some times one of mine works then the other always works. I could try finding a schematic and see how changing all the capacitors out works.
Pac, I'd love to see the schematic - specifically, I'd like to see the one for the car unit (and find out where it's located). Over the course of about a week, one key fob stopped working - I then tried the other, but it didn't work either. I replaced both batteries, and still neither worked. So I think my problem lies with the car unit.
There was a show on BBCA last week about guys who have "relationships" with their cars...kissing was shown, other things (charitably) were not. I thought that was going to be the subject of this thread. BTW actually putting your lips on a car in 11-degree (F) weather might brighten up the paramedics' day
I blew a cat on my car once...... oh wait..... that didn't come out right!
What I meant to say was that one of the catalytoc converyers on my 996....... ah, never mind!
There is nothing to tell. Thankfully I am working out of state and most of the time I am gone for two weeks at time, so I don't
have
to drive the !@#$%^ POS very often. I have owned it for a little over 18 months and have slightly over 7K miles on it. When I must drive it, I try to do so only at night, which reduces my level of embarrassment!
If I continue to work out of state, I may sell the Honda and upgrade to a used KIA!
Just a FYI. Posting Barbra Streisand is a banable offense and a direct link to a forum for fans of Broadway show tunes. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)
You have been warned.
No I have never kissed my car and don't plan on it. BUT if one of the sweet girls from the factory who had something to do with putting the cars together presented themselves welllllll
