If its a new remote did you program it correctly? How did you program?

You might have a bad antenna. The 791's have a chip in the antenna that goes bad

i'm always a little amazed at the guys who come into our shop in a situation like this... they dont buy anything from you, they dont want to pay you to install it, but as soon as they run into a problem they want you to cannibalize your stock to help them track down their own self-install problems on product they probably bought on E-bay.... and they have the audacity to get insulted when you are not interested.......

sorry, thats just my rant for May.....

BTW, my young jedi, you may want to unplug your antenna and leave it for about 20 minutes to clear the logic circuit.... it is an active device and may reset itself after this..... just a thought.....
