I have a 2000 Ford Ranger with factory theft system, power door locks, windows and keyless entry. I just replaced both door actuators last night and they work fine (whew, getting that first actuator off it's mount blind was a biotch! Tips: A. You need a stubby flathead screwdriver and B. unbolt that window regulator piece that's near the actuator!!!)
However I have the 2 original keyfobs that came with the truck and one (that I always use) works fine and the other (that I rarely use) seems dead (I remember that it quit working about 10 months ago). This morning I put a new CR2032 battery in the "dead" fob and it still does nothing.
My question is: If the battery in this nonworking fob has been dead for 10 months, would it lose its program? Or do I just have a dead remote??
PS- I know how to reprogram the keyfobs (ignition on and off 8 times and so forth) but don't want to mess up the programming on the one that works.
Thanks!
