Factory remote starter

[vincetaco1]

Well, I finally tried new batteries. My fob isn't recognized.

Are you saying you can't unlock the doors with remote now?

remove the battery, clean the contacts and re install the battery, if the fob was working before and all you did was install a new battery then the issue is with the fob & battery

you can also try cleaning the fob with some rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth/tissue/q-tip.
remove the board and clean the button contacts

Might want to find a second remote.
If remote is bad, that's one way to verify.
If not, then you have a backup remote..

I cleaned and put it back together and all is good. Thank you.

I would mark it fixed but the original issue I started the thread for still is acting the same. I'm stumped. It still only runs 10 mins even when I extend the cycle. The lights flash as if it recognized the request to extend but only runs 10 min and won't restart until I put the key in the ignition, as per standard procedure. If I start it once I can restart after that first cycle finishes. It functions just as it should per manual but it just won't extend the run time. It's not a huge issue but it's confusing that it doesn't extend any more.
