Symptoms & Diagnosis
Warning Signs the Keyless Entry Transmitter is Failing
Intermittent operation: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Reduced range: You have to be closer to the car for it to work.
Complete failure: The transmitter stops working entirely.
Buttons feel worn or damaged.
Car alarm goes off randomly.
How to Test if This Part is the Problem
Check the battery: A weak battery is the most common cause of key fob failure. Replace the battery with a new one and test again.
Try the spare key: If the spare key works, the problem is likely with the original transmitter.
Visually inspect the transmitter: Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks or broken buttons.
Have the transmitter tested: A locksmith or automotive technician can use a special tool to test the transmitter's signal.
Check the vehicle's receiver: Although less common, the problem could be with the car's receiver, not the transmitter.
