Though I have not been able to figure it out, I have noticed a few posts about this on threads for Honda and Civic. I am hoping someone nice can assist!
My key fob’s red top light comes on when I click it after I changed the battery, but it does not unlock or lock the car. A major disappointment. It was not working because, according to a Reddit post, the user had inadvertently twisted the plastic components around the battery. However, I examined that (see photo) and everything appears to be in order. I also believe I placed the battery in correctly because the little red light on the fob turns on when I click buttons.
It is a 2016 Honda Civic EX. I had previously had to change the battery, but there was never a problem. Particularly annoying is the fact that, although I can get inside my car by unscrewing the door and removing the key, you obviously can not start it as there is no ignition. The brake also does not apply its full force when I step on it like it usually does.
Not sure what to do here. Any suggestions? I am grateful.
