keyless entry

When you hit the keyless entry its supposed to beep once to lock twice to unlock right

well mine makes the horn sputter if that makes sense but it still locks. And you have to be within like 5 feet of the car for it to work. I replaced the battery, and the lady said she had never seen anything like it, there was 8 small batterys lined up but even after replacing it it still only works close up


Anyone else had this problim or is that just how this keyless entry system works cause on my last car you could be like 50 feet away and it would unlock.

The multuple beeps warn that although the keyless entry is on, the alarm isn't. Check your security switch in the dash. As for the 8 batteries and range, both are normal. You can replace the batteries with a single GP23A or GP27A, I don't remember exactly which one but it's the bigger of the two. Personally I wasn't satisfied with the factory alarm and replaced it entirely.

Yes, that is the problem. It needs to have the button pushed to turn the system on. Once you do that, try it again and it will work the way you are used to.
