Remote key problem

[2Fast996]

Intermittently over the past couple of months the remote would fail to lock and/or unlock the doors leaving me to do so manually. The key otherwise worked the ignition normally. Today, the key remote would not longer lock nor unlock the doors at which time I noticed the light on the remote not blinking upon pressing the button. After changing the battery I remain with a remote that does not lock nor unlock the doors however, works the ignition normally.

Upon pressing the button to lock/unlock I see one blink of the red light. If my memory serves me correctly there used to be a very fast continuous blink of the red light while depressing the button. I am out of town with the car and only one key for a lengthy period of time so I have no way of verifying with the other key.

Any input? I have searched and reviewed until my eyes hurt. Perhaps I have missed something.

Your key will need to be reprogrammed. Might even need a new FOB and then also have it programmed. Your processor might have finally kicked the bucket. Mine did, but i'm not going to throw 250-300 bucket to buy a new FOB and have it programmed, so i just manually lock/unlock my doors..caveman style:)
