I went away on vacation for about a week. When I came back and tried to use the keyless entry remote to unlock the car, nothing happened. No sound, nothing. This has happened once before, but the first time I had a back up remote. I changed the batteries on the first remote but it still didn't work, so I continued to use the back up keyless entry. So now that I'm using the back up remote, I figured I had no option but to try and unlock the door with my key, even though I knew that would not be a good idea. As expected, the alarm went crazy as soon as I opened the door, and I tried to just start the car. The lights on the dashboard appeared, but the engine would not start, the whole time the alarm was still going off. Eventually after about 30 seconds the alarm stopped, but if I open the door, or try to start the car again, the alarm starts going off again.
I bought new batteries once more, and followed the resync instructions in the manual - hold lock and unlock for seven seconds. Nothing happened.
I don't know what else I can do on my own to either fix the remote system, or just disengage the alarm so I can use my car! Has anyone else ever had this happen?
