My remote start does not work anymore on my 2006 G6. I replaced the battery in the key fob but it still doesn't work. I just had to replace my battery in my car last night and thought that it might work now and it still doesn't. The unlock function works on the fob but not the remote start or locking buttons. Any ideas? Thanks!

These always stop working. Mine did too. After I replaced batteries remote start stop working. Then all functions stopped. Went to the dealer and they wanted $300 to fix. Simple solution... Use a hole puncher, aluminum foil and glue. 1st open your remote, Punch enough holes for every function on the remote. Then place the aluminum on the metal function buttons of the circuit board use glue to keep them in place. Then put the rubber peace to cover , close your remote and use.

    Or you can buy the rubber insert which is what fails. There's a conductive material sprayed on the inside of these so that when you press the button, it contacts both halves of the contact underneith to complete the circuit. This spray on conductive material rubs off over time and won't complete the circuit. It's an easy fix.

    Now that's a good tip to know . . . mine stopped working just today out of the blue; replaced battery & still nothing so I may try this - thanks!

Sounds like fob circuitry is getting a bad connection... or it's dying... pull fob apart and gently clean the button electrical contacts

I have a 2006 Jeep grand Cherokee my key fob alarm stopped working put a new battery in it what else can I do

The key fob will need to be reprogrammed to the vehicle since when the battery was replaced in the key fob, the key was reset. This is why nothing is working with the key fob. After replacing the battery in the key fob remote, you will need to reprogram the remote to the vehicle

I REPLACED BATTERY IN KEY FOB FOR 2009 MITSUBISHI LANCER AND NOW IT WON'T WORK

hey guys. I own a 2013 lancer ES. My remote key fob stopped working because the battery ran out. I replaced the battery and it doesn`t lock and unlock the doors anymore. The fob because its lights come on and a locksmith checked that and it`s definitely working. I checked the WEB and youtube for reprogramming but all the tutorials were for 05-12 models. I also did the manual instructions but nothing happened. The dealership told me they charge me 220 dollars for that. I only have one fob, it is the only i got from the previous owner. Would you plz help me? thanks

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

Unlocks trunk, but other functions disabled

If you can't live without the key fob and use the old fashion key, I am sorry to say it is time to go visit Mr. Goodwill. Bring lots of money and your first born child for collateral.
