Key fobs can be tricking and even something as simple as changing the battery can cause some issues. The good news is there are a few tricks to try before you panic.

1) 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 bot 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.

2) Get it checked
Go to your local hardware store like AutoZone or Oreilly's. They usually have a RF frequency tester. This little gadget will let you know if your key fob is sending a signal. If it is, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your vehicle

3) Make sure the battery in the key fob is installed correctl
Try turning the battery upside down. If you have the positive end on the negative terminal it is not going to work.

Hopefully one of these tips will get the key fob working again. If not you can always purchase a replacement key fob online from
