My fob responds to the "lock" button, but not the "unlock" or "trunk" buttons. I imagine this is an issue with the remote accessory control module- could you walk me through the process of finding and diagnosing it?

It could be 2 things: The contacts inside the fob have to be clean. The rubber nubs get an oily film on them. Use alcohol and a Q-tip. Also, it's very easy for the circuit board to go in there the wrong way. Did you open up the fob to change the battery and did the board fall out?

Definitely cleaned it a couple of times, but I'll give the circuit board a shot. Thanks. :)
