Hi All,
Just took delivery of a 2018 Model X 75D. We were given two key fobs. One was dead and the other had a low battery. The Fremont delivery center where I picked it up did not have any more Model X compatible batteries.
I transferred the low battery into the other key fob just to check that it was paired to the car and working. Thankfully it was. They told me that I should go to the Dublin service center to pick up new batteries.
This morning I picked up the batteries (the guys at the service center couldn’t have been nicer) but didn’t have a screw driver in the car to test the new batteries. When I got home I added the new batteries. Now both fobs function, but the car says that both fobs are low on battery.
I looked online for a YouTube video to see if I did something wrong (I mean how hard could inserting a battery be). The video had a tip to make sure that if the battery had a cover on that I should take it off. I took out both batteries and neither had a cover, so that’s not the issue.
Not sure what’s going on. Do I have another set of bad batteries? I find that hard to believe. I am more inclined to think there must be some little trick I am missing. Thanks for any help/advice.
