Can't get key fob to work. Replaced the battery in key fob but now can't get it to start. Used the "inside" key, & it cranks, but won't turn over. With key fob it seems to be "locked"

    As it turned out, apparently when I took the battery out, the very small programming chip fell out. Thankfully we found it & replaced it & followed steps I found online to reprogram things! THANK YOU!

You may have to get the key reprogrammed to the immobiliser. Take it to the service dealer and they can do it for you

2007 dodge nitro....has power...everything works....won't start...key fob is dead....replaced the battery in the key fob...still won't work? Any suggestions?

Try this

To fix the Dodge Nitro anti-theft mechanism, you will insert the ignition key and turn it to the on spot, and then attempt to start the engine (crank over), the engine does not run. With the key still in the run spot, wait 10 minutes, and the safety light will flash and then go out.

Replaced battery now remote start won't work, why?

The fob would need to be reset to the car computer - check your owners manual. On some models you press both keys at the same time.

Won't start, could it be fob or engine?

Try not using the fob at all open the door with the key. And start the jeep if it works without issue then its the fob. If its still not working correctly remove the battery from the fob and try again(since if it was damaged could be sending the signal for the panic button) the next step is the key try your spare security key can become worn and cause issues with the antitheft system. After that it only leaves computer problems and those can get spendy

Just replaced the battery, now the car won't start unless I lock/unlock the doors using the key fob. How do I set it back to work the way it used to?

You most likely have an aftermarket fob and remote start unit.What is the brand on the back of your key fob?You will have to get the proper reset and registration procedures for the particular unit installed in your car to make your key work normally.

Both key fobs for honda pilot 2006 no longer works. Do I need new keys or is it something internal such as a fuse?

First thing, does the red light on the remote light up when you push any of the button
if no, then replace battery inside remote
if yes, then try repograming the remote to the car again.
-Have both remote ready. fob#1 and fob#2 (doesn't matter which one is #1 or #2)
-each step has to be done within 5 sec or it will not work, but don't do it super fast.
1.turn key just to the "on" position (not starting) and push "lock button " on fob#1 once and release
2.turn key off
3.turn key just to the "on" position (not starting)and push "lock button " on fob#1 once and release
4.turn key off
5.turn key just to the "on" position (not starting)and push "lock button " on fob#1 once and release
6turn key off
7.turn key just to the "on" position (not starting) and push "lock button " on fob#1 twice (if you only have one fob, then stop here and go to step 7)and push the "lock button" on fob#2 twice.
8.turn key off and remove key from ignition.
if you did it right, remotes should work again.
good luck
