Key fob quit working
Hello all,
First post here but am a member of several similar forums. 2006 Accent 96000 miles automatic. I did a search but could not find an answer. Before I purchase a new key fob I have a question. The fob worked when we got the car but then stopped working. Figuring the battery was dead on the fob so I bought and installed a new one. Still did not work. When you push the lock / unlock buttons the red light on the fob flashes. Then I remembered that the car battery ran dead the other day so I googled instructions on how to reset the fob. Key on ACC and held the unlock button on. Still no work. I then tried this procedure with the lock button. Still no work. Does anyone have a solution, or is there another reset procedure I can try. Just want to be sure before I buy another fob. Lastly, will a new fob require programming at a dealer or locksmith?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Kevin

Brand new battery installed exactly like the old one came out. I checked the new battery and it tested good. Pretty straightforward

I asked locksmith fort worth to change the battery and after replacement of battery it works fine.
