My 2005 pilot fob housing was broken so I bought a shell online and took the guts from the old fob and put in the new and got the key cut. The car will crank over but it will not start. Will the fob lose its programming? I put new battery in and the led does not light up either. The batter was dead for about 6 months before I replaced it. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance for the help

 

if you had the key cut, did you also reprogrammed it for your vehicle?

did the seller gave you instructions on how to program it?

the following thread shows a small part called the immobilizer

no green light = maybe a dead battery



something similar to that key

it shouldn't lose it's programming if you replaced the battery & still have the immobilizer chip in it


pause video at 2:17 and you'll see the immobilizer chip on the lower cover (right hand), bottom corner by the key

 

thanks for the info ricebike. that helped. i just cut the chip out of the old fob shell and installed it into the new one. didnt know the chip was located there. i thought it was built into the keyless syatem.

 

did it worked? because i have no idea if that was the case

i was just googling for you

 

hey ricebike it worked. thanks for the help.

 

thanks for the update... guess it wasn't the remote battery

 

i replaced the battery on my remote and the green light still doesnt come on. any suggestions?
