Keyless entry dead

Hey guys. It's been awhile.

The 8 is running good. But just the other day my keyless entry stopped working. I've tried 2 new batteries in my main and spare keyless entry dongle and it just won't work anymore. Are there any other easy fixes I can try to get it going? I'm assuming it' something with the receiver on the car.

sounds like you have a trip to the dealer or a mechanic with the equipment in your future.

I've had that happen to me before. And if it is the same case as me just take out the key. And use a paperclip or something sharp to bend the litttle metal tab inside so you get a perfect connection when the battery is inside. This has happened to me so many times cause of that little tab wasn't toucing the battery. It hasn't happened to me for a very long time though .
