My battery connection broke in my fob and I soldered it back together. I thought it was an anomaly but it appears it is a weakness in the design. I also had the alarm activate when unlocking with the key. Hate that!

Bumping this because I thought I had a bad fob, but it appears it's something else. The fob has been flaky lately - sometimes working and sometimes not.
Well, I discovered that when it won't work, the key works fine in the door, without any alarm! So I think the security module (or some such thing) is erratic. When the alarm is actually on, the fob works fine. Any ideas on what to do next?

to the forum tgp1994! Here's a trick to try, lock the door with the key not the power lock button, then open the door with the key....the horn should stay blissfully quiet.
If it doesn't work the first time, unlock all the doors, then lock each door manually and then lock the driver's door with the key. Then try unlocking the driver's door with the key, the horn should remain silent.

Isn't he talking about how the back hatch uses a sort of push button which then opens the latch keeping it closed? I guess I never thought of how the car decides whether or not it should open the hatch... Perhaps if the passenger doors are locked?

He said "the back hatch which doesn't lock manually" after awakening this over 7 month old thread to add that bit of superfluous/incomplete/misleading information. He didn't say unlock which can only be done with the remote unless you consider the emergency release.
