Keyless Entry

Keyless Entry
My keyless entry has gone bad I think. It used to work fine and then one day it just stopped working from far away. Now it only works when you are about 2 feet literally from the car. I thought maybe the battery was dying so I bought a brand new battery and still have the same problem. Does anybody know what could be causing this. Maybe it's not the keychain thing but the actual sensor on the car going bad?

I reprogrammed the FOB to the control unit and it still does the same thing. It only works about 2 or 3 feet away from the car. And it only works on the driver's side of the car and toward the rear bumper but not on any other places of the car. Should I just buy a new remote off ebay and program it or could this be caused by something else?

I have kind of the same problem. I got an aftermarket remote starter installed. On the remote, there is buttons for opening and closing the doors, poping the trunk, panic, and remote start. At the place I had it installed, the technician told me I would most likely have to get another module installed for all the buttons to work other than the remote start. Is there any way I can just program it to work? I already tried the method posted in the 4th gen sticky.
