Replaced Key Battery, Now It Doesn't Work
2014 base model FR-S with standard key. Original battery approaching 10 years old, door/trunk lock function (using the buttons on the key) was starting to work intermittently. Replaced battery (2016) with a new one, now NONE of the key functions work.
Looked at a bunch of YouTube videos that claim that the key has to be re-connected to the car by inserting/removing key 4 times and then leaving it inserted in the ignition switch, then opening & closing the door 6 times. The security system light does go out when the key is inserted into the ignition switch, but still can't lock/unlock the doors or open the trunk with the buttons on the key.
There's NOTHING about this in the owner's manual- it just walks you through replacing the battery and says nothing about needing to do anything else.
Am I going to have to take it to the dealership and cough up $100+ for them to spend 30 seconds doing some magical pedal dance or some such?
Thanks
