We have 2 keyless entry remotes. One works fine. I've changed the battery in the other one twice.
My problem is that this second remote only occassionally opens and closes the doors. I usually have to press the button 5-10 times (the light comes on each time). Distance doesn't seem to be the problem either.
I'm wondering if there is an antenna inside the car that needs to be pointed properly, or a specific point somewhere that needs to be cleaned.
Oh yeah ... 99 Outback Legacy 30th Anniversary with the original remotes (55K miles)
