    Thank you, by looking at this it sound like i dont have to do anything after replacing the batteries.

    I did get alot of flashing lights when i pushed the lock button.

    Lights flash 9 times & Im sure they flashed less than that before battery change.

    I actually jumped in the pool with key in my pocket when my bulldog fell in the pool & started to sink. Im pretty sure no water got in but I took apart, blew out & let it sit in rice without battery overnight.

    Just in case anyone need the correct procedure after replacing FOB batteries


    1. Make sure both doors are closed DONT FORGET TO TAKE BATERY TENDER CORD OUT OF DOOR GAP & CLOSE, and that the front bonnet and the engine lids are both closed too.

    2. Push the lock button on the remote

    3. Push the unlock button on the remote

    4. Push and hold the button on the remote that opens the front bonnet. If the front bonnet doesn’t pop open within about 3 full seconds, release the button and push and hold it again.
