    I have three remote key fobs on my 2002. For some reason, #2 and #3 have stopped working. #1 is working fine. They have new batteries and the tester at Autozone detects the RF signal emitted from each one. Is there a reason the car would no longer respond or forget the transmitters?

    I have tried reprogramming per this procedure:

    1. Start with the key out of the ignition, drivers door is open all others closed and
    drivers door is unlocked

    2. Perform these steps within 5 seconds.
    A. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.
    B. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.
    3. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Close then open the drivers door.
    B. Close then open the drivers door.
    C. Insert the key into the ignition(Do NOT Turn) Pull key out.
    4. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Close then open the drivers door.
    B. Close then open the drivers door.
    C. Insert the key into ignition and leave it in ignition.
    D. Close the drivers door.
    E. Turn the ignition to ON (Do NOT Start) then back to OFF.
    F. Remove the key from the ignition.
    5. Within 3 seconds, the power door locks should lock then unlock automatically
    indicating successful entry into programming mode.
    Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.
    6. Perform these steps within 40 seconds.
    A. Press the lock and unlock buttons on the remote simutaneously for 1.5 seconds.
    B. Immediately after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons,
    Press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds, the door
    locks should lock and then unlock once indicating successful programming. If
    the door locks cycle twice, repeat steps A and B in step 6 as the remote was
    not accepted.
    C. Repeat steps A and B in step 6 for each new remote.
    7. Open drivers door.

    Everything works up to step 6, but I get no love on 6.A or 6.B.

    Is there another trick?

    Thanks...Russ
