Not those problems, but the range my fobs are able to communicate with the truck is getting smaller and smaller. It's down to about 7 feet now. Fresh batteries, too. Have you cracked open your fob and made sure it's not filthy inside? I have mine in an aftermarket housing so I know that's no my issue.

Always the first thing that comes to mind with the fobs is to check the wiring that goes into the hatch. It's a common failure point (broken wires) and since the brains of the remote system lives in the hatch, it's usually the first thing impacted... that's noticed at least.

I have a feeling Hatch Wiring is my issue.

The Gate button works to lower the Rear Window, but the Lock/Unlock do not.

However, when the gate or doors are OPEN, the Lock button is being read, because it does the Long Beep like the doors are open.

My Dome lights works fine on the Door Setting up front. The Hatch Dome lamp does not work in the Door position.

The Key works in the gate lock cylinder to lower/raise the window. The Button on the dash does not work at all.

All of this leads me to believe its an issue with the Gate Wiring, specifically the circuit that sees if the door is open or closed.
