FOB battery keeps dying??

[andyb]

The battery only last about a week, what gives. Using driver number one all the time and I only get a week before the DIC tells me the battery is low???

Never heard the DIC telling you the FOB batt was going bad on mine if I cant open the doors then I know the battery is dead .

take the fob apart to see if there isn't any crap thats not supposed to be there, any evidence of moisture on the circuit board? something is killing the batt or you may have picked up a bad batch of batteries from the store

Thats how I knew the battery was dead too, doors wouldn't open. But the other day I noticed the message on the DIC. Checked inside fob for something not right and looked good. Second batch of batts from store too, think I will try another store. Just seems really weird, might try and use driver 2 fob and see if that one dies too?:mad3::mad3:

Open the Fob up and see if the contacts where the buttons actually touch are good. Seen a few that have had some crud built up on the contacts not letting it work making it seem as if the batteries are dead.
