Q: Door lock remote stopped working.
Got a new key casing, switched the interiors from my original to the new casing after getting the key cut. The key works fine in the ignition, but the remote door lock on the key do not work, nor does the panic button. I only have 1 original key. I have tried disconnecting the battery, and I've tried removing the IOD fuse. But nothing has changed, still no remote function on the key. Any help?
My car has 224000 miles.
