keyless remote doesn't work when it rains!
My keyless remote seems to have a mind of its own. It seems to have a pattern of not working for 3 or 4 days after it rains. Then it does! I had new ceramic brakes put in recently and I am wondering if this could be related in some way?
Thank you for your advice.

I'd guess your remote is suffering from a buildup of crud in the little buttons of the internal circuit board. Pop it apart like you are going to put a battery in, and you will see the four tiny buttons surrounded by a square tin housings. The two lower ones for lights and boot probably click nicely when pressed. The two top lock and unlock buttons probably don't. Get a good quality electrical contact cleaner and spray the switches, then work them a bunch with a small screwdriver. Keep spraying and working and they will eventually start clicking like the other two. Pat it dry and put it back together. It will most likely work fine again.
Good luck!
