i have a 2011 tech pack tl....my wife mistakenly wash my pants which had my keys in it...when the cylce finshed i found them and tested it with no problems...the next morning though it said i had to insert in the slot to start and non of the remote functions would work, including locks, is there a way to fit this or i have to just buy another? if i had to get another then where from?...thanks for any help

 

Have you check the status of the remote battery? It may need replacing. Just a thought.

 

no how i do that?

 

When you press a button on the remote, there is a little red light on it should should light. I am not near my remote at the moment, but if the battery needs changing, you would need to pry the remote open to access the battery.

 

no lights come on

 

If no lights my guess would be that the remote is either "toast" or you need a new battery. With it getting wet, it might be done. But with it working right after the wash, it may very well be the battery.

 

what part i need to pry open?

 

pull the key portion off the remote, put a quarter in there and twist, should pop right off.
Battery CR2032

side note: the inside of the key got real dirty, maybe i should clean it.

 

I would recommend pulling out the battery and leaving apart overnight to make sure there is no moisture remaining in the key fob. Then install a new battery and cross your fingers it isn't fried. I think these fobs are pretty pricey. Good luck!

 

thanks hope it works.......fyi it doesnt look as rough as that one though lol
