figures.... (key fob)
I've been putting new batteries in my key fob every year or so because it'* so weak and lately has been very intermittant, so i dug up the spare fob which has a broken key ring and hasn't been used in over 7 years....and voila! It works like a charm.
...but it has a broken key ring

I wish i could say i didn't think of that because i was drunk, but no.

you can solder a couple inches wire onto the little square antenna too while you have it open... if you are feeling adventurous. boosts the range quite a bit.

I had the same issue with the 92 SSEi we owned for a brief period. I eneded up going to the junk yard and finding a good case. Swapped the internals and it was good as new.
Granted, the stampings on the back weren't for the 92 SSEi, but whatev..

If you are loosing range, and using a different remote doesn't help...Then the RAC'* internal Antenenna may be at fault
