We have come to rely on these little luxuries in life, So what happens when your keyless entry stops working? There are only a few reasons why your keyless entry stops working.

The battery in the remote needs replaced – Just like every other remote electronic device your keyless entry remote needs a battery. This is one of the most common reasons why your keyless entry has stopped working. A good tip is to keep a few batteries in your glovebox or middle console to have on hand if the battery needs replacing. If you replace the battery and it still doesn’t work it may be something a little more difficult to troubleshoot.

Remote may need to be reprogrammed – There is a tiny computer board inside your keyless entry remote. Just like with any other computer sometimes they have glitches or they short circuit.
