Hey guys, I posted another topic on this in the main Mazda6 forum, but it went on down the line of posting and didn't get noticed. Also, i was half asleep when i posted up the description so it probably didn't make much sense to anyone except me. SO, i'll try this again...
Alright, so two days ago, i went over to my friends house, and previously, when i left my house, my keyless entry worked just fine. When i got to his house, it no longer worked which i found strange. I pressed each button a number of times around the car to see if the location of the fob mattered that a signal may be weak or something. I got no response.
So i got home later that day and pulled my fob apart suspecting that it may have been the battery for it, but i had my doubts because i had already changed out the battery for it maybe 6 weeks ago... the battery was fine.
I decided to check my fuses for the door lock system as well as one under the hood, both checked out as okay.
Finally, just in case something might have happened to the fob and got pressed 257 times for the code to get lost, i decided to try and re-sync the fob to my car.
After disconnecting the car battery and reconnecting it, i went through the process to no avail, there was no response of the car recognizing my fob...
any suggestions? i have a feeling that my car's keyless receiver has gone kaput, but i'd hate to dish out the green to get this fixed at the dealership...
