Hi,
We just purchased a used '05 Mazda 3 (4 door) for the kid to drive around in. ..But have noticed a odd issue with the keyless entry system.
It seems to go in "sleep mode" if left in the driveway or at school for multiple hours, and will not respond to unlock/lock commands (not sure about panic haven't tested that yet). The fix seems to be just simply unlock the doors manually, and insert the key in the ignition (no need to start it up). ...then it works just fine.
We've also noticed that if running errands, not leaving the car for extended periods of time, it always works as expected.
It does this for both sets of remotes, and I've replaced the batteries already.
Anyone else seen this before?
Thx
ss
