[s-cars] RF Remote operation sporatic - ign. switch?

[bill mahoney]

Keith torsened,
"My RF remotes are becoming sporatic.  I had both with me tonight - and
either they both work, or they both don't work.   So I don't think
it's a matter of reception.
I don't think the remotes work when the ignition is ON - so I'm
wondering if this is the first symptom of my ignition switch biting
the dust?"

Keith ma'man,
Lots of questions here.  
Why are you carrying both remotes to begin with?
Did they both not open?
Did they both not close?  
Did one not open and one did?
Did one not close and one did?
It IS true that they do NOT work with the ignition on.
Some nameless "Eyetalian" must have unloaded this car on you complete with the 
"drive it in the river no escape package."
You've been bilked, fleeced, taken advantage of, conned, tricked,
hornschwaggled my friend.
Drop that car off down here in Chicago and be done with it.
OR try a new battery.  
OR recode it.  
Sometimes urS's temporarily lose their minds.
HTH

psfwiw   I don't think this is your problem, but if you haven't
changed the ignition switch its not a bad $30 investment if it has
never been done.
