Key Fob stopped working
Hey Forum,
Just need troubleshooting suggestions. Noticed my key fob stopped working, easy solution buy a new battery. BUT, I pulled my spare key fob which was NEVER used, and it didn't work also. It's been 3 years for both fobs, 1 has been used everyday while the other one only has been used at the dealership to make sure it worked. Any suggestions on what to look for? Is it a potentially a car issue with the sensors? To be clear this is the fob: http://www.cars101.com/subaru/brz/brz13-keys6.jpg I'm getting a battery after work today.

Actually both have been used almost the exact same amount. The one tucked away has still been sending out a signal looking for the car so even though the buttons may never have been pushed the battery has had almost the same drain on it for 3 years.
Let us know if the battery fixes it.
