Key fob / liftgate ?

[dasbaja]

Thanks everyone for helping solve this problem.

nynd- the liftgate works as it should with the interior button and exterior "handle" by the license plate. Closes and opens correctly, except when using fob.

rh71- car has the option and have seen the height scale on the info. screen.

How about this thought? Could the key battery need to be charged ? (which I understand is what happens when you insert key into ignition, right?) A symbol on the dash flashed what appeared to be a key and a charging symbol.
Kind of makes sense as the car has been on a lot for 3 months. Will see if it changes after using key for awhile.

you have comfort access? if you do, key won't charge in ignition. only non ca cars do that.

ok so it won't charge then. you would need a new battery to check if in fact that's the problem.

^ good info - the dash did warn you the battery in the remote is indeed low so give new batteries a try. But if it's activating the alarm on a longer press, I don't think that's the issue.

I got the low battery sign and replaced both keyfob batteries. (flat round "2032" duracell). The auto-liftgate is more responsive and I can use the fob to lock/unlock from a greater distance. Definitely worth the $4.77 I spent.
