Hi,

Could very well be, long-distance diagnoses are difficult at best. In either case, a Dealer Service will be required, or an independant with a PST2 Computer.

The Security/Immobilizer component may merely need reprogramming, which I hope is the case since replacement is rather spendy...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I'm shooting in the dark here.. but do you happen to live close to a radio station/transmission tower?

I parked my car in front of a friend's place in Milwaukee.. right across the road from a radio station and it's rather imposing tower. Key remote just plain old wouldn't work. If I was inside the car everything worked fine (though to not much purpose.. since I was still sitting in my seat) but outside I got nothing. To test it out I drove down the street a few hundred yards and everything worked great.

Just one of those things.

Unfortunately, no. Due to the fact it never worked well for me (sometimes it took multiple attempts a foot away from the car for it to work) I'm thinking something may have slowly been going out.
