Therealcodyg Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 So, my fob is acting crazy. Sometimes it operates fine (i.e. locking and unlocking properly), other times it will not work at all until the lights turn off automatically, which is something like 60 seconds (although the red light on the fob still blinks when buttons are pressed). Once the lights turn off automatically, the fob works perfectly again. I have checked my car battery and replaced my FOB battery, no luck. The only indicator on the dash that is illuminated is the tire pressure sensor, which came on immediately after having a flat fixed. Does anyone have experience with this? Any advice on how to fix?

1990LS400 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Your car came with two "fobs". Have you tried the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990LS400 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Unfortunately I bought used and only received 1 fob.You are a brave soul. My suggestion is to purchase an extra fob, have it programmed and see if it works better. If it does solve the problem, I would suggest that you buy still another fob so that you have two fully functioning ones. I would be / have been totally paranoid if I had only one key for a vehicle. I misplaced the key to my last LS a few years ago and then found that my wife had lost hers months earlier but never told me. I was lucky and quickly found my key but I was at the Lexus dealer the next business day to buy two keys - gave one to my wife and put the other in a fireproof safe.

Therealcodyg Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Agreed, not an ideal situation. I'll give a new key a shot and report back. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
