Lights blink with Key fab, but does not unlock or lock; engine acts locked out.
What is your question?
The car does not seem to respond to my key fab or manually to the master key. The batteries in the key fab needed to be replaced for a while so I just used the key manually. Last night the car would not start and got stranded in a parking lot. The car acts like it is electronically locked out since it fires just fine. It only has 75k on it and it has been serviced and runs like a new car.
This morning I went and replaced the fab batteries. After trying several times the car respond to the fab and locked;/unlocked doors and the car started right up.
I drove home then the same problem started.....the lights blink on the car so I know it recognized the IR but the doors will not lock or unlock.
I tried synchronizing. No change.

Hi. Thanks for your response. No, not that I know of. I doubt it. Is there a way to verify? and diagnosis the source of this issue?
