I am not sure which part of the forum this would best belong to (maybe Electronics?) so I'm posting it here.
I dropped my keys last week while walking to the car (which was already open), but when I tried to start it, the car wouldn't start. I tried locking/unlocking - didn't work. Nothing was working to start the car, all buttons were unresponsive. After a few minutes it did start though, but it was not a pleasant experience as I really had to leave.
Today, again: I dropped the keys when I was opening an office door. I went back outside to check if the remote was working - and it was not. I tried lock/unlock - nothing. I pressed 'panic' and it worked - after that lock/unlock also worked.
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem? And what is the issue - is it the battery? Thoughts, advice - all appreciated.
