Is it common for the fobs to fail? I have 2 having both failed. Niether have worked for quite a while. NOT the batteries (CR2025). Worth it buying OEM to see or better value to convert it to aftermarket?

 

Comment/ideas pls...

I am not quite sure of all the ins and outs of these systems, but they do have a receiver on the vehicle to pick up the signal from the transceiver. Since it is happening to both fobs, the common denominator is the receiver. I have heard of people having issues with loose antennas on the receiver, which causes reduced fob range.

Receiver! Excellent starting point Citron, thx. I'll do my research cuz its PROBABLY buried somewhere stupid. Still gotta install my Xmas pres so I'll be opening up the dash for that as soon as the temp reaches double digits Celsius, so I'll do it at the same time.
