We use it for fitness classes. We've had this transmitter replace twice now and it will have to be replaced for a third time now. The first time it was a default in the receiver. We sent it back got a new one but this time it's the transmitter that's not working. The instructor teach an hour class and at the beginnig of the class you can hear the instructors lound and clear but after about half hour the instructor has to keep turning the volume up on our sound board and by the time the hour class is up the volume is at the highest it can be until not sound come through at all. The way to explain the problem it's like if we were using a low batterie, it gets weaker and then it just stops working because there's no juice left in it. IT that makes any sense!!

Here are the instructions from the factory manual. They must be followed exactly.

Begin with:
The driver's door open and unlocked.
Key out of the ignition.
1.Insert and remove the key from the ignition switch 2 times within 5 seconds.
Steps 2 and 3 should be performed within 40 seconds.
2.Close and open driver's door TWICE.

2 times for REWRITE mode.
3 times for CONFIRMATION mode.
5 times for PROHIBITION mode.
8.Remove the key from the ignition.
9.To confirm your mode selection, the power locks will now cycle "lock" to "unlock" a number of times corresponding to your key cycles in step 7.
If Confirmation or Prohibition modes have been selected, opening the door will complete the procedure.

Transmitter Programming
Method 1-No Tools Required
In the event that a transmitter is lost, program the old and the new transmitters into the memory of the remote control door lock receiver. Up to 4 transmitters may be programmed.

Important
Once entering this procedure, programming the first transmitter erases all previous transmitters. You must program all transmitters.
Program one vehicle at a time. One transmitter could be programmed into other vehicles that are also on program mode in close proximity.

Sit in the driver's seat.
Remove the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.
Close all vehicle doors.
Press and hold unlock on the door lock switch.
While holding the door lock switch in the unlock position, insert and remove the ignition key twice. Do not rotate the ignition lock cylinder.
Insert the ignition key a third time leaving the key in the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition must remain in the LOCK position for the rest of the procedure.
Release the door lock switch. You will hear three chimes. This chime feedback indicates that transmitter programming is active.
Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time on the keyless entry transmitter for 12 seconds. You will hear two chimes.
This chime feedback indicates that the transmitter has been programmed successfully.
Repeat step 8 for the rest of the transmitters (for a total of 4 transmitters).
Exit this procedure by removing the ignition key from the ignition lock cylinder.

Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security method used by the remote keyless entry system. The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the passenger door module (PDM). • The PDM will not respond to a signal that has been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording and playing back the signal from the transmitter. • The panic button should still operate normally when the system is out of synchronization. • Resynchronization may be necessary under the following conditions: - The battery in the transmitter is very weak. - The battery in the transmitter was replaced. - The battery in the vehicle has been in a low or no charge condition for an extended period of time. • In order to resynchronize the transmitter with the PDM, perform the following steps: 1. Stand within 1.5 meters (5 ft) from the vehicle. 2. Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for 7 seconds. The door locks should cycle in order to confirm resynchronization.

I also have this problem Ihave replaced the igniter twice this helps some for a while  I AM GETTNG READY to order my third one. had dealer replace once they had no answer cut lighting time from fifteen to twenty minutes to maybe five
