Around the time I got my car battery replaced, I noticed that my keyless entry was not working anymore. I've changed the battery in the fob - it does light up when pressed. I also reprogrammed it, and it worked for a few minutes but then stopped. I am able to lock the doors from the inside of the car, using both the driver and passenger side controls. Any ideas what might be wrong here?

Thanks for the suggestion. I reprogrammed twice since yesterday...same deal as before, it works for a while and then nothing. Could my fob be at fault?

yes it could, you need it checked by honda to verify if it is good or not.
