So I have this weird issue going on with the key fob on my truck. It doesn't matter if the truck sits for a few hours or over a weekend, but it will randomly decide that it doesn't want to respond to the fob when I go to unlock it. Both fobs have new batteries(less than a few months old) and the truck battery was replaced a little less than a year ago with an H8(biggest battery that will fit in the tray). I had these issues before I replaced the battery in the truck, but it seems to have been perfectly fine up until about 2 weeks ago. It's done this 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Once I unlock it manually and start the truck, everything seems kosher for a few days. I'm just wondering if the battery could be failing again, or if this is just one of those issue that is considered "normal for this vehicle.":cwl:Either way, I'd rather not take it in if I can avoid it. Anybody else have this issue? It's a 2022 STX (no push button start).

Did you do the battery install? Did you reset the BCM?
