Default door key opener button.

When I press my key button it doesn't lock or unlock my doors. I put a new battery in and still nothing. Any ideas from anyone. Adam

When you press the door lock/unlock button on the driver door, does it actuate the locks? Do you have another remote to test out?

There's also the chance that the replacement battery was on the shelf too long and dead. Check the batteries with a voltmeter, or buy another battery from a different store.

Also make sure you're not just tapping the button, but hold it down for a second or two...
