Bought an '08 about a year and half ago. Always had trouble with the remote lock/start. Tried cleaning the contacts, different batteries, and all the usual stuff.
I went to buy a whole new remote today, and when the guy hooked up the programming unit to the car and tried pairing the new remote....nothing would happen. He tried a couple different times and still nothing. He went back inside and tested the new remote itself on a different unit to make sure the battery was good.....and it was. We're left scratching our heads as to why the car wouldn't receive a signal from a remote.
What on the car receives the signal from the remotes, and is there anything that could interfere or cause the sensor to go bad? I tried searching but everything that came up was for remote problems and not a problem linked back to the car itself. Any help would be appreciated.
