Thanks Jeff.

Now if I can convince my dealer...

I know that you are trying to help, and I appreciate it. This is my spare key fob. The one I use every day works fine. I just took the "dead" battery out of my spare key fob and put that battery in my every day fob. The battery is dead.

Hi Jeff,

I have now installed 6 batteries (2 from the drugstore) and four from my dealer. The fob will work for one day. After a day, it will not unlock the door, even with the fob against the handle. It's dead.

Jeff, put a new battery in today, and the fob works. By tomorrow, it is completely dead. My other fob hasn't had the battery replaced in over a year, and it is in the same pocket as my phone.

I used my spare key fob a few months ago for my 2010 LS and the battery was dead. I bought a battery at the drug store, installed it, and the next day it was dead. Thought it was a bad battery, so I bought another, which died the next day. Since then, my Lexus dealer has installed three more batteries, the most recent was yesterday (1/14/14) and they have all died in one day.

It is not kept near anything that would emit a ping and drain the battery.

I think the fob is bad and my dealer insists they never go bad.

Anyone else have problems?
