My key remote buttons don't work. I have to manually lock and unlock my doors. I checked to see if the battery needed to be changed for the key but that was a negative. I think it has something to do with the programming. Please help me figure it out on my own without taking it to a dealer... Thank you.

If you dont live in california you can try a auto parts store to have it scanned for codes.I would also call around and see if any of the auto parts store have a remote tester.
