Urggh! I hate security faults - I always fob them off to my locksmith...

Anyway; as far as I remember; the receiver is in the comfort module under the dash. If the remotes are OK; it must be that end.

Whether it's losing it's range i don't know; but it is scan-able and that's where I'd make a start.

Do you work in a high-emf envirionment? I've never seen this before; but there are anecdotal tales of remotes becoming degraded in high-security areas.

You comfort module should be next to the steering column under the lower dash panel.

Getting it plugged-in and read is the first step.
