Short of reprogramming the key phobes or replacing the batteries,I have no answer for you. The instruction for reprogramming should be in your black bag. My door module is in the dash area so the top of the dash has to be removed...Good Luck...

There are two brass contact balls located on the inside of the door jam,they must stay clean.I use electrical contact cleaner,Also the rubber door gasket will partly cover these contact points which causes the remote door opener not operate,to minimze this I removed the two screws which holds the brass contacts, insert two small washers and then put the screws back in,when tighening the screws make sure the gasket in partly smashed.

I assume you checked the most obvious cause - weak batteries in the fobs?

Sometimes my fob quits working...so I just tap it against something and it will start working again....I have found that my battery moves slightly and loses contact....I tried putting something to hold it tight,,,but was not successful,,,so I just continue to tap it slightly when it quits...

Tapping the fob works for me. I've also found that it won't work right if the m/h batteries are low.

Count me in on the intermittent key fob remotes. There appears to be no rhyme or reason why one of them works only 90% of the time.

We had the same intermittent problem with both remotes. We had them check things during our warranty-work trip, during which they replaced the batteries in both fobs. One has worked great, the other again had problems the next day. We replaced the batteries in that one, and it hasn't given us a problem since. We decided they must have a supply of old batteries at the factory.

It seems like you all are thinking the remote fob is the issue,I'm saying that the door jam contacts is a bigger issue.
