(Keyless start cars only)
So 2 days ago, I noticed my car didn't start and the amber key/red lock symbol was blinking every time I tried to push the "push start" ignition.
I thought my battery died on my FOB (purchase date 6/2012) so I brought down my spare, and same issue. Perhaps both battery died at the same time
When I put my keys very close to the Start button, the car recognizes it and starts right away. Although sometimes, the car tries to "look" for the key, and it will flash amber yellow key symbol in the dash if I move the FOB out too quickly after starting the car.
My FOB will not lock/unlock doors, open the trunk any more which sucks because I can't lock my car. I'm scared if I lock it manually, it won't unlock with this FOB issue. Luckily I garage my car.
So has anyone had issues with the FOB all of a sudden dying? Electronic modding I've done that "may" affect this is:
Tapped turn signal/puddle light wires for my Diode Dynamic side mirror covers
OBDII bluetooth thing, although I disconnected this and still the same issue.
Toms tail lights
LED lights interior/exterior.
I've had these mods done quite some time now, and the newest addition of the side mirror cover turn signal light thing has been installed for 2 weeks now.
I will go to the dealer to switch out the battery to see if the 2 FOB's really died at the same time.
Any help will be appreciated!!
