Interesting key issue

[teamgs]

Greets,
I finally got fed up with my non-functioning key, and decided to fix it. It would start the car, but not activate any of the locks. I tried using the procedure to re configure it, but, it would not give any response. My other key works just fine, btw.

I ordered the battery from Mouser, per a write-up, and when it arrived, it looks like the mfg switched the positive and negative tab positioning, so it was not possible to insert the tabs into the slots in the key circuit board.

I instead soldered a couple of small wires to the circuit board and then to the battery, taped the key back together and tried to reprogram it.

I was only partially successful. I was able to get the repaired key to lock the doors, and open the trunk, but not unlock the doors or start the car.

Messing around and trying multiple programming attempts, I one time was able to get the key to start the car, but not unlock the doors. One time I disabled my wife's good key. Doh! Got that one working again, but now my key won't start the car.

Any thoughts?

Sigh...at least I repaired my outside air temperature sensor. Batting .500 would be something to brag about if I was a baseball player!
