When I push any buttons on my remote it gives the two beeps that the signal is out of range. It does this even when Im standing next to my car. The operations still work. Also the lock icon on the screen is stuck on unluck. I took out the battery and put it back in and it still does the same thing.

My car is a 95 integra.

try unpluging the antenna and pluging back in then try reprogramming the remote.....if that does not fix the problem then you need a new remote. I have seen the same problem you are having more that once.

Where theres is a wire there's a way.

This same thing was happening to me. I unplugged the antenna for 5 minutes, then reprogrammed the transmitter. Works like a charm now ;-)

How did you unplug it? Is there a clip somewhere?

Well, my antenna is right up against my A-Frame on the driver's side windshield so I have about an eight of an inch of room to work with. I CAREFULLY took the tip of a flat-head screwdriver and if you notice, on the sides of the connector, there are little ridges. If you gently pry the connector from the antenna, it should just pop out once it's free. The hard part is getting it back into the antenna. I don't know how I did it, but it just lined up perfectly for me...THANK GOD.

The first image shows there the little "ridges" are. The second image shows where to put the screwdriver. BE CAREFUL! The connector is extremely small and if those four wires get pulled out of the connector, you're screwed. It does NOT require much force. Hardly any at all actually.

After all that is done, after 5 minutes, plug it back in. Have you found your valet button yet? You'll need it to reprogram the transmitters.
