The remotes sometimes just break. How old is the key?

try replacing that battery?

 

[samndavid55]

the key is as old as the car.

That - - - isn't a lot of help.

The older the fob, the more likely a simple breakage. My old Ibiza remote broke down after about 7 years. However many go on to a ripe old age.

Battery?
