2010 key fob question

[fuzzie]

I drop my keys the other day and now my keyless entry doesn't work. The key will start the truck but won't lock or unlock it. Popped the battery out , thinkin that may reset it. My other fob works fine,also installed a new battery and nothing. Is this thing broke !! Do I have it reprogrammed? Are these made that cheap that they can't withstand a fall? Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,Fuzzie

take it apart and clean the contacts and try again. My fobs suck. After a while I have to clean the contacts with an eraser and the bottom side of the buttons for it to work right again.

Thanks,tried cleaning it but nothing. Are the key fobs covered under warranty ?

Not when you dropped it. When I bought my truck I got 3 replacement fobs, because it is expensive to program the first fob but the other 2 are just the price of the fob. One of my keys can start the truck and open all my locks, but cannot remotely open doors. I have this in case of emergency, and is roughly the same size as the key, it was 45 bucks as an add on and I believe it is called a transmitter key, it has no buttons. And I have 2 replacement fobs w/o key that I bought off ebay for 25 bucks, and had local locksmith program it. It is better to get all the keys you might need because it is cheaper to program a fob with working fobs then reprogram the entire ignition if you loose a fob.
