Key fob now lights up but does not open door? Need programming or something?

Featured Replies

The battery on my keyfob died.

I replaced it and it does not work although the light now flashes when I press the buttons.

Any ideas?

I guess it needs to retrained to the car - hopefully you have another working fob? Have a search around on the forums - I think this has been covered before - if not - you never know it might be in the owners guide?
