keyless entry issues
hey guys, sorry ive been out for a while.
i just wanted to ask a quick question though...
when i originally purchased my stang it did not come with the "remote" key fob thingy.... i bought one off ebay, programmed it and it worked like a charm....
untill this week.
I was washing the car and decided to cut out the fog light "fins" with my little pocket gerber knife i keep on my keyring.
After removing fins, i forgot to pick my keys off the ground and apparently they got a little wet. it actually worked about 4 days then i noticed my battery terminal was loose; replaced it with another and now my remote will not work...
I figured the car forgot it.... tried the reporgram method (position 3-4 8 times, car locks, unlocks. press button, car confirms with another lock, unlock. turn key off, car exits program mode) but the remote does not work afterwards....
im soooo confused.
the car sees the remote is transmitting.... it does the lock/unlock cycle thing as soon as i hit any button.....
ive tried every combination out there.... from 4 to waiting 20s, 4 to start.... door open, closed..... grrrr
i took it apart to clean it and look for water damage but saw none....
any one have any other ideas?
i may just have to break down and spend another whopping $15 on another
but i really just want this one to work......
thanks guys, missed you all!
ill explain my wareabouts later.
