    Hi all, so my 2005 with 178,000 miles is acting strange. Yesterday the rear hatch release stopped working and today the Key fob lock button does nothing. I can unlock doors with the fob & lock the doors from inside the car and shut the door, but I don't think my alarm is activated. I am in 100 degree heat with a full HV traction battery. Any advice is appreciated as I am at a loss. Thank you in advance

    have you replaced the fob battery? you can get a free 12v load test at many auto parts stores, how old is it?

    Do you see a red light on the remote ignite when you push any of the buttons every time you push a button you should see a red light up in the corner of the key fob light up. If not maybe time to look into a battery for the remote or fob hopefully that's all it takes If not it's going to be some fun.
