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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I've dropped my key FOB one too many times. The battery harness came undone (broke?). Anyhow, how I put it together in the key housing, it doesn't work (poor connection I'm assuming). However, when inhave it out and the battery on the circuit board, I click the buttons and it lights up. Battery is new. So I take it by the car and try to unlock it, it's not recognizing. I put it by the ignition and try, still no luck. It blinks slowly.. on and off. Before, when I pressed it, it would blink very quickly and lock/unlock the car. Whats the issue? How'd it happen all of a sudden? http://imgur.com/emGJAoN

There are many tricks to getting it to work again, none of which have worked for me. There is a DIY on Renntech for resoldering the chip, that is supposed to work but I haven't tried it yet. Do a search here for the various methods from reversing the battery to going through a start-up procedure. Good luck. It's amazing that a key fob for a $100k car doesn't work but the one for a VW Bug works every time.

Yep. Never had a fob go bad for any of my numerous cars, ever, except the 996. %$#!& OP, do some searches and try some of the suggestions. None worked for me, either.
