Keyless Entry Problem
Hello all:
First time posting. I have a '99 ES300 that has some problems with the keyless entry. Specifically, it takes 4 or 5 pushes of the button each and every time to either lock or unlock the car. Just took it in for it's 60,000, and the dealer mentioned that the car battery was reading at marginal. I'm just wondering whether a low to marginal battery would cause the keyless remote to be sluggish in response, or if it would be a problem with the keyless remote itself, or if anybody else has had this problem and what they did. Want to know before I spend money on new battery, new remote, etc. Thanks.
