if you can open the door and starting your car with the key, then the remote or the keyless entry module is not working.

if u cant do anything with your key, tow your car to Mazda and tell them to fix it. hope u're still in warranty tho.

I have had 2 quit working...buy one from e-bay for approx $40 and be done with it.

Not sure why they crap out...but it isn't the battery....and for that priceit'snot worth the time to figure it out

I don't suppose the problem might be as simple as putting the new battery wrong side up?
