yes it locks and unlocks it does everything but when you try starting it it turns once and stops just cuts out.

I would replace the key battery first. If its not strong enough, it may be cutting out the signal, especially if it works for a split second. The signal to unlock the doors is a quick blast of a signal, where as the keyless go need a constant signal for a few seconds. Plus the new battery from Walmart is $2.

i remember reading in the manual that there is a little red light on the key around the lock button that will flash everytime you arm/disarm the car regardless of if you push the button or use the keyless feature... if i remember correctly, it also stated that the pattern of light flashes would change if the battery was almost exhausted... i agree with the above poster and would definately try to change the battery first...

good luck!

Question

On the flip side of this, my keyless go works but the key will not work in the ignition switch - the dash says Key Not Recognized. Do I need a new key? Unfortunately the car only came with one.....

Regards, Ray.
