Dead key

SamB080 · 05-25-2023, 06:06 PM

Hi guys, weird issue. My wife’s key is totally unresponsive. Buttons won’t lock or unlock doors or trunk. We changed the fob battery but still nothing.

Any tricks to re-sync with the car? Or something else simple to try?

Cheers, Sam.

there should be a key logo on the right side of the steering column, you can hold the unresponsive key next to that logo, and then press and hold the start button for the vehicle

Voltage test your batteries? If your other fob works, swap batteries?
