Timely! I have a reddheaded stepchild with some key and fob issues. 2008 9-7x.
PO had a well used primary key, and a new aftermarket key that had never been paired but was cut.
I set up both keys when I bought the car, and as far as I recall, both worked for lock/unlock/start. Well used key is my daily key, New key went into spare key box.
Many months later, the well user key fob was getting harder and harder to use for lock and unlock. I changed the battery, and the lock/unlock distance seems greater, but the buttons still need to be mashed. But now that key will not start the car. Huh?
Grabbed the new key, it starts the car, but will not lock/unlock.
I reprogrammed the two fobs, now both lock/unlock, new key starts, but well used key does not start the car.
Am I missing some sort of pairing on Teck2? Or is this getting on to being a dead key?
I am now in the market for another key and fob. Anyone have suggestions of where to look?
Thanks,
Bernard
