![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Just put a new battery in the key fob as the remote obviously stopped working...new battery is in but the remote still isn't working. Anyone know if there is something that has to be done to reset the fob when a new battery is installed??? (any other suggestions appreciated as well!)
TIA...

I cleaned and replaced remotes and batteries for my 99xk8 & 95xj6 and no reprogram. I am unable to speak for the s-type but I would assume it is the same. This is how I did it http://www.gusglikas.com/AutoRepairxk8Remote.htm Hope this helps!

Do you have a working fob?
If so do this:
take fob out to your car, insert key into ignition cycle from off to accessory on position 8, I repeat eight times rapidly (you have to go pretty darn fast). press the lock button on the fob that doesn't currently work, and then press unlock on the one that does.
If that doesn't work then you know it is an issue with the actual fob not putting out a signal.

Further, if your key fob did lose its programming during the battery change the method I just outlined reprograms it. I doubt the autozone kiosk will do that.

Just a suggestion since not everyone has RF receiver capable of scanning FOB frequencies at home. IDK to me it seems like a reasonable to Suggestion to without a doubt rule out a FOB transmitting or not, I mean even if the battery is placed in correct who is to say a trace didn't get broken and it's no longer transmitting.
I speak from experience with prestige remotes

Are you sure you did not throw away the new and reinstall the old battery? If that is not the case get a new battery (RadioShack) and test the battery then.
