So riddle me this: I usually use key fob #1, and every time I go to open the door with the fob in my pocket, it opens, just like it is supposed to. Lately however, when I try to start the car, there will be a lot of clicking, and the DIC will show "No Fob Detected", and the security icon will turn on. If I push a button on the key fob (does not seem to matter which one), the security icon turns off and she starts right up, presumably because she recognizes the fob now.
This has happened a couple of times, so I thought it might mean a low battery. So I popped it into the recharge slot in the glove box for a little over an hour. After the fob had charged, I took the fob out of the charger and hit the start button. Again the DIC shows "No Fob Detected", so it looks like it is not the battery in the fob. After I pushed a button on the fob though, she started right up. Just for grins, I tried using the #2 fob for several days and I had no issues at all.
This coupled with lemish's C6 auto-dimming mirrors not working 1/2 the time thread, I'm starting to wonder if the issue is with the way the car recognizes the #1 fob, and not the fob itself. Any thoughts on what might be causing this issue?
