Key fob opens doors but keyless entry not working.
I don’t know what is going on. I was evacuating the Santa Rosa area because of the fires so we are packing the car then there is a loud buzzer or sustained beep as I shut the trunk. My fob opens the doors but the keyless entey doesn’t work, nor will the rear trunk open. The key fob can open and lock the doors but they don’t sense when I’m near. Everything else is normal. The only thing is the car does a loud beep as I shut the trunk. I was thinking maybe it is because the rear seats are down but I don’t know and I can’t test it now.

Is the button in the trunk pushed in? That won't let you open the trunk with the remote or with the button on the dashboard. Look in the trunk on the left side - there is a little button there. Your luggage might have shifted and pushed in the button

It’s not the button. That’s what I thought too. I tried that. If I push it then I can’t open the teunk with the fob—only with the key. If I push it again then I gain fob access but not keyless fob access with the button on the trunk.

Seats down don't matter so you can scratch that. Maybe need a new battery for keyfob?

Hi Irace86.2.0, I hope you got away from those fires!
Hopefully you didn't have any property damaged. As far as your fob not working properly, I suggest the obvious ...... replace the battery ....... just to eliminate the possibility that it is weak. Next, try your other fob (making sure it's battery is good in it). Stay safe! humfrz |

I had some weird gremlins like this with my 2013. After the 1st year of ownership I had issues with the range on the fob. I would have to be damn near touching the car before the fob would unlock the doors. Sometimes the car would not register the key to just pull on the handle and unlock the door and sometimes the car would not start because it was not sensing the fob. Tried a ton of different stuff to fix it and nothing did. Last winter instead of using a battery tender and leaving everything hooked up I unhooked the battery and just put the tender on the battery and let the car sit with no battery hooked up for 4-5 months. This spring hooked everything back up and the fob has worked as intended since. Not sure if this will help you or not but something maybe worth a try.

I want to thank everyone for their input. It just dawned on me that my extra fob is in my file folder/cabinet thing packed in the back of the car. During the evacuation I just threw things in the back and totally forgot. I can’t test it right now because I work at the hospital, the only one open in Santa Rosa at the moment, but I bet the extra fob in there is cancelling the keyless entry for my fob with my keys. Ill test it tonight.

I pulled the key fob from the rest of the items in the trunk. Just to satisfy the curious, that fixed it.

Best part of the internet. You just get to say a bunch of stuff and something in there will be right sooner or later.
And the stuff that was wrong, you just go back and edit it out. Before my low/dead battery answer, I wrote he should try pushing a banana down in the gas tank and let all the air out the tires. |
