lately sometimes my key thingy will work great and other times I keep pressing unlock or lock or hatch I get absolutely nothing.I will wait for a little while and then it will work like always.. It's a 94z28 by the way.. Anyone else experience this problem

 

try a new battery

 

And its called a key fob. Or remote.

 

battery is fairly new 2 years old...

 

definately the battery...mine lasted like 6 months

 

A new battery might do the trick. Does the fob work in other locations? The reason I ask is I park in downtown San Diego, and sometimes there is EM interference from either the Navy at North Island or the ATC tower at Lindbergh Field. My fob simply won't work! I have to unlock the car with the key, and try to stick the key in the ignition before the horn starts honking. EM interference can definitely overpower the little transmitter in the fob. It works fine after I leave the immediate vicinity.

 

The contacts could also be dirty - try cleaning them with a pencil eraser

and definitely try changing the battery

 

I was thinking it was some kind of interference also. But it was in a residential area..I dont think it is the battery..

 

LOL , that isn't new.
Change the batteries and clean the buttons. Electrical interference can be a problem in some locations.

 

Geez spend the 3$$ already and get a battery

 

ok...... looks like I will get new batteries...I cleaned the contact points now I will see if it works consistently for a week or 2 .. thanks

 

I took mine to interstate batteries for a new one and the guy gave me a free battery.
