I replaced my battery yesterday. I just stopped working.

So, why are the batteries dying so fast?

Had a glitch today. I got out, locked it, realized I forgot something inside, tried to unlock it with the remote and it did nothing. Came back 10 min later and it worked.

I'm really nervous about unlocking it with the valet key. I unlocked my parents' Town & Country once with the blade key and it set the alarm off. Anyone know if turning the key in the lock actually disables the alarm?

Funny thing is I have no issues like this with my truck but my key to my wife's new Wrangler does the same damn thing. Must be a MOPAR issue.

One of the few things I dislike about the truck is the remote. Sometimes I have to push the button several times. When it does unlock it usual has a second or two of delay before it unlocks. My 08 remote worked perfectly with no delay.

I don't think its the battery, at least not with mine.
