All I did was grab old that doesnt work remote. insert key hold on ignition for 5 secs to 8 secs then had the new remote with another original key i had. Turn on to ignition held for few seconds then I turned the car on. This works for me every time.

      Only thing I can think of is when you opened the remote did you drop the green part it had inside because the key is not connected to nothing electronic so it should not affect the new remote in any way.The other thing I can think of is that the key design wasn't done well and that's why the car doesn't turn on.

      That is very odd, it is possible that the key fob may be defective.
