Default Keyless Entry Problem - Please Look Inside

Yesterday my keyless entry all of a sudden stopped. I thought it was the battery in the fob, but i tried my spare one and it doesn't work either. I have been using the manual locking with the key to warm up my car with the spare key, but is there some switch or something to disable the keyless?

I thought it might be a slightly open door or trunk or something, but it isn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Default When you unlock the car, do you hear a whirring noise coming from the trunk?

The vacuum pump that operates all the locks resides there.

Have you checked fuses? I'd start there.

Default Same problem just happend to me...

A week ago it stopped working, so I changed the batteries and that fixed it, until now.
Not sure if we have the same problem, but I guess I'll start at the fuses too.
Hopefully we can help each other.

So mine seems to be inconsistant, works sometimes but not others. Rules out fuses.
