Default 1998 Civic - Keyless remote has stopped working

My keyless remote stopped working. I have changed the battery (and programmed per the owners manual), checked the fuse...still it won't work. The light on the remote does light up when the button is pushed. Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

No, nothing has changed on the car.

Is it the Honda OEM control? Don't know if this helps, but if you want I have my two old ones laying around...they are yours if you want to try.

Maybe it's time for a new transmitter?

Yes it is the OEM control. It just happened a few days ago so I'm not ready to give up yet. Thanks for the offer.

How long have you had the car/keyless remote entry for?

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your directions worked perfectly and fixed the problem. Sorry it took me a while to respond, I tried yesterday but I guess I had exceeded my 5 posts as a new member. I appreciate your help...you made my day.
