    Key fob stop working since I pulled my stereo out.
    I guess a fuse popped.

    What fuse would it be and where?

    Its pain to go lock both doors.

    battery might be bad in the fob. could be a coincidence that it went dead at the same time you did the radio.

    it could also be the contacts inside the fob going bad. there's another posting in this section where another guy had the same problem and it was his contacts. he put some tinfoil on them and they work good now.

    you might need to reprogram the fob to the car, just hold the lock and unlock buttons on the fob until the car locks or unlocks, should be about 10 seconds

    also make sure you check all the fuses, theres a couple in there that can blow at the same time.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

    it was the radio fuse under the hood that made the key fob not to work.
