My wife threw my jeans in the washing machine without checking my pockets. I know I know! Anyway, my keys got washed and now my fob doesn't work. I'm going to let it dry out and see if it works. Has anyone else had luck with this or do I need to just buy a new key?

Possibly grab a new battery, cheap and can be found at Batteries Plus!

Once disassembled, spray w/ some electronics cleaner. VOILA!

I was told (by the dealorship) if you take the batteries out, the fob has to be reprogrammed by the dealorship.

I'm going to let it dry real good and replace the batteries. We'll see how it goes.

Well, I'll tell you, mine went through the wash and never worked again, even with fresh batts.

Took it out, shook it off and it still worked! Wow...that sounded....just...wow...
