    Key fob started working intermittently and eventually stopped working all together so I changed the battery in both my daily keys and my spare.
    Now neither key fobs work at all but it still allows me to start the truck up fine. I triple checked the tabs and battery placement in both key fobs and they looked good.
    Anyone know how to solve this?
    Thank You

    Tested the batteries with a meter and tried Duracell and energizer after.

    Any fix here? My key fob is doing the same thing. Was working like every 3rd or 4th time, so I put in a brand new Energizer battery and now it doesn't work at all.
