Key Remote Won't Work Even After Doing Sync

[drbodzin]

Hi All,

My key has not worked for many years due to the micro switches failing. Well, I bought an old used key and removed the micro switches from it and soldered them to my key. Also installed a new battery in the key. It works like new now. Well at least the red light blinks when you push the buttons.

But the remote does not do anything to the car. I read online the suggestions of:

1. Turn on the ignition, then remove the key and press a button within 6 secs.

2. Lock and unlock the car door with the key and press a button within 6 secs.

Tried both, but still not working.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!!!!
