Big thanks man!

I thought I was going to need to buy a new remote. So I grabbed my busted old remote and swapped its never used keypad into my working remote and now my lock button works like new. Its not one of these inserts but well played sir!

I wouldve bought a new remote and had it programmed. Now I have a remote that works like new for free!

Found another option. On Ebay for about $12.00 each shipped you can get colored key fobs. Just pop your non working one open, put the circuit board in the new one and snap it closed. I bought two red ones. They work and look nice.

Thanks! My unlock button is starting to not work, I usually have to press it 3-5 times to unlock both doors.

You can actually just use tin foil and a hole punch and then glue the tin foil to the pad with super glue, thats what i did with mine and it works like a champ.
