[QUOTE="Tombstones81, post: 1039451, member: 74875"] Well, the news transceiver arrived 2 freakin days ago!!!! (bought on the 19th!!!!) & that one is even worse then the current one~!!! Mounted in place, it doesnt recognize the key At All~! Unmounted (no screw but in place behind ignition) & the sensor area pushed against the ignition, it worked. So its either a weak transceiver or a weak sensor in the key. Working on getting 2 more keys cut & programmed to see if its the current & only key I have. or if its just a weak transceiver as I said. atm the old one that works better is back in Im just leaving the screw out, so I can pull the sensor ring closer to the ignition to properly read the key every time. So thats one thing to try for anyone having a PATs problem. & if the new keys have the same issues. I am just going to cut open one of the key & super glue or tape the sensor directly onto the transceiver sensor. Then just get normal unchipped keys cut. Will update when I get the extra keys cut & programmed to see if its the key or transceiver. & it already acted up again this morning for the wife (she had to leave it at the gas station AGAIN.....) then after we left the store it acted up for me until I moved the sensor closer to the ignition.
