Re: Key fob just died put in new battery still dead any...
The FOB is good and the receiver in the truck died. There are scanners out there that tests FOBs. I have one and do it for free. It takes like two seconds to test.

FOB H3LL been there too many times.
first off the fob batteries must be good. inside fob.
battery put in backwards has no chance ever. never have just one working fob key on any car
or land here. x
off to the locksmith you go or they to you.
my fobs died here about 8 years old (new to now)
2 new once died, here just last week, 8 years old
1st the bottom switches inside gold wore off. dead.
no cure ever for that, !
2nd fob when berserk and has unlock command transmitted endlessly and its switch is shorted for ever. no fix for that. again.
and all failed every year for coin cell. every one.
never have just 1, or costs can go super high.
mine cost me $75 to make 3 new keys.(programmed)
(had new keys in hand me)
that is my advice, and how to be proactive
fuses first (checked)
are keys dead? or just he FOB battery dead????
are you inside the car or outside the car.
we can not see you or what are doing, but... tell that.
guess is , outside car the FOB died as all do , dead battery.
and a $1 fix.
keys do not fail on all doors,(metal keys )no way but yes I did one time at 250,00mile i put on a Nissan. wore the key out. a wreck.
You'll need the door key with a dead battery because the key fob won't unlock the doors with a dead battery lost or not.. Toyota dealer is the only place a new key fob can be purchased that will work.
the car came with 2 RKE FOBs
are both dead.?
alway have 3 FOB if not you can not reprogram a new one. self.
can cost you $300 for more to tow your car to the dealer if the 1 fob dies. never run one fob. or bad happens.
put in a new battery in the FOB for door issues
the transponder part does not use the battery .
the transponder must be good, or the car would never run.
the jeep cuts fuel after 2 seconds if the transponder fails.
no,,,, the panic and the door open buttons all use the same
fob battery. try that, remove the battery see all buttons go dead.???
bingo... so the switch is all gunked up, (split cola, sweat.???)
the car came with 2 fobs. use the other fob.
lost it. get a new one, never run a car with 1 fob. bad idea.
btw, if id sold you this, car, the panic would be hacked, i kill them all.
when tripped, the panic my car, requires entry and key on,.
a royal pain that is. dog barking , babies crying, all that....
I have a few troubleshooting tips for your #Toyota Avalon key fob.
First things first, make sure it's YOUR key fob (and you didn't accidentally grab your mom's keys!).
Change the battery
Batteries don't last forever, you'll be surprised how often it's just a dead battery! Search our YouTube channel on how to change a key fob battery for your specific year, make, and model!
Wipe the board
The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!
The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.
New fob!
It might be time for a new key fob! No need to dread over the expensive costs of a new key fob, at Keyless Entry Remote Fob Inc., you can get a refurbished one for a very affordable price! You won't even be able to tell the difference. Just search your vehicle make, model, and year to purchase a key fob or give us a call at 402-671-5100.
I put a new battery in the key fob for a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, and, at first, it still didn't work. Took it to the Dodge Dealer, who said the fob was dead. NOT SO! My husband put a little piece of cardboard on top of the battery so the battery contact was improved, and the fob works fine now.
You should not have to reprogram the remote if you are just changing the battery. I would first check to make sure you put the battery in correct side up. If that didn't work try disconnecting both terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why.
