I took it apart, battery is fine. But there's some corrosion over the buttons, and the unlock button in particular has a honey-like goo on it and the connection seems loose. I might just buy a new fob on ebay just to be on the safe side. I don't have the valet key or anything for the doors. So if this goes out, I'm locked out.

I went ahead and ordered one on ebay for $35. I tried cleaning the circuit, but the button feels mushy and I have to push real hard to get it to work. A local locksmith said they can program it for $60. I'll have to call the dealership to confirm, but I believe they told me they only charged $45 for the programming.

Then had to have my car towed to a local shop that works on Jags (there is no Jag dealer in Yakima, WA). The shop programmed my key and remote & both work just fine. $135 for key & cutting, $130 for programming.[/QUOTE]
