[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 994984, member: 52972"] It could just be the key-fob remote. Usually the intermittent working/not working is a symptom of a weak or bad battery, but it could mean that the electronics in the key-fob are getting weak or the buttons are not making a good contact? If you have a second Key-Fob remote, try that and see if that works any better. If the other remote works more consistently, I would look at replacing the old remote. You can buy them on eBay fairly cheap, and it never hurts to have a spare. Also, your new battery might be weak (sit on the shelf for a long time) so if the spare remote works good, you might try switching the batteries and see if the old remote works better...and the spare works worse, I would conclude that you happened to get a bad battery? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
