If this is the case, insert the key and quickly lock and then unlock the drivers door and then immediately open the door, insert the key into the ignition, and start the car. This should reactivate the remote fob if remote standby is the problem.

The way I do it is: I stick the key into the driver’s door, turn the key to unlock the door. Then I press the lock/unlock button on the fob while the key is still in the door. Seems to work and the fob will function again. No need to start the car.

Thanks for the tip. This worked for me, also. I thought I had a bad switch and was going to have to solder in a new one. The frunk and trunk push buttons (and lights) worked fine, just not the door lock button (and light) on the remote.

I have two keys. One works perfectly, the other does not lock/unlock the car remotely. Changed the battery, and the red LED flashes like the other key. I’ve held the key in the unlock position in the drivers door, then pressed the unlock button in all manner of combinations. Still no luck.

Is this a dealer only fix?

Cheers
