Just in case you didn't know about this, here's a little info from the owner's manual:

Yes, thank you 78F350 - I noticed that. Something is up with the circuit itself, probably need the buttons re-soldered. Haven't heard back from @particlewave... thoughts?

I have the same issue, but one key works fine and the other doesn't.
It flashes the same as the one working, I changed the battery and still does not work with the car. I just bought the car a week ago and the owner said maybe a battery.
Possibly have to go to the dealer to get it programmed, I don't really need the key now but would still like both keys to be working.

A key fob can only be programmed to he car if you have the barcode for it. Otherwise, you are SOL

Where would I find the barcode, I have I think everything the new car came with (all the manuals & literature) also have a radio code card, but don’t see any kind of bar code.

The barcode is on a sticker under the driver's seat. You may have to remove the seat. Good luck.
