One of my original keys is still working after almost 18 years. The other died quite a while back. It went through the wash, which might have been the cause, or it could be I just didn't use it enough.

Almost always the problem is solder joints breaking. My car was 14 when I bought it and within a year both keys had solder joint failure.
I reflowed the solder and both worked again for a couple years before I lost one and the other stopped working.
I didn't want to risk killing my only key so I haven't reflowed the solder yet I've been waiting to get a new key. Now that I have i can reflow my old key.
I had indications that the car side electronics could be at fault so another reason I waited to get a new key. Praise Jesus the key worked meaning car side is working!
