    Key fob wont work unless if used in keyhole

    So yesterday morning i finally took my car to work to get it ready to register, keyfob was working and i was able to use it from afar. After i arrived it stopped working unless if i put the key in the driver side keyhole and then i can use the buttons. Any idea what might have happened and if i should reprogram the key?

    Iwould try another remote for testing purposes you can program any remote of that style to your car of course the key blade could not be used

    What car is this in reference to? Perhaps you need to replace the battery?
