- the only way to rule out a bad first key is to program the second key. if it works, then your ECU/antennas are fine. if it doesn't then it's the ECU or antennas and we can move to the next step
- the antenna/amplifier/ receiver is more likely cause than the ECU. has anyone actually had an ECU go bad? probably Im sure but I don't see it often

Thank you. I get no response anywhere around the vehicle. The receiver is between the rear driver's side door and gas door. Even there, or with the key inside the access door inside the cargo area it does nothing.
I did get it to unlock once over the weekend... first time in about a month, but since then it's back to nothing.
I have a used receiver coming from E-Bay, should be here this week. It's untested of course so who knows if it's any good. I'm hoping I can get the original one unplugged since I really don't want to have to remove the cargo interior panel.
The dealership said it was $169 to reprogram a key, and they'll do a second key for no charge. So I'm going to try and plug in this "new" receiver and if that doesn't work it looks like I'll be going to the dealership.
