Q: key fob not bring recognized.
The key fob doesn't get recognized by the car. With the key in hand, only the little yellow "no key light" comes on on the upper left side of the dash. Without the key in hand, a full signal comes up on the dash saying there's no key as well as the little "no key sign." How do i fix this?
