remote key

[Tomcher]

I was in a hurry and after I parked my 2008 Limited, I hit the lock button on the remote before the door finished swinging shut. Nothing happened, it didn't lock. So I pushed the lock button again, nothing, none of the buttons worked. I could only lock it with the door key lock. So I went into a store to do some shopping and I thought maybe it needed some time to reset. None of the buttons worked, so I just unlocked with the key and drove it home, it was about 30 minutes later. I got out tried again and all the buttons worked and it's been just fine for several days. So I guess I will never try to lock it before the door shuts, has anyone experienced this, or is it just my Edge.

I would guess it probably got wet inside. We sell car alrms and this is a common issue. Also you do have batteries in there that might need to be changed. Pull it apart and see if there is any moisture if so use some alcohol isopropryl and clean it then let it dry out put in new batteries and see how it goes.

Thanks for the response, this has only happened one time and has not been a problem since. I think it had something to do with the door being open when I tried to lock it. Since it's OK now, I'm not going to mess with trying to open the remote until it happens again.
