Intermittent Unlocking from Fob

Hi

I've begun to have problems with the both key fobs for my NG900 Talladega. Most of the time, either one will unlock the doors/tailgate and disarm the alarm, but every so often although the green and red LEDs light up on the fob, the car doesn't respond to the doors or tailgate opening.. I've tried replacing the fob batteries, but the problem still happens every so often - and I'm not sure why the fault clears.

Any ideas ?

TIA

Steve

I've observed the same on occasion. Try cleaning the contacts inside the fob. If you're not familiar with contact cleaning, you can safely use a pencil eraser until it's bright and shiny. Then clean them with alcohol. Wipe the batteries with alcohol too.

See if that helps. It's possible the car itself has an issue, but fob problems are much more likely.
