Understanding the job

Remote locking and starting authorization are not always the same function. Explain whether the buttons fail, the vehicle will not start, or both. Compatibility should be checked before a replacement fob is purchased or programmed.

Customer-supplied fobs must be brand new, never used, and matched to the correct vehicle part number using the VIN. A similar-looking case does not establish compatibility.
