Thx to all

Hi , I've had my 2015 Journey since new (2 yrs. ago) and have had no problems till now. When it was new I put one of the fobs in a drawer and forgot about it. The other fob has been used continuously and was fine until now. The battery on it was low about a month ago, so I switched it with the unused one till I got some batteries. Bought new batteries yesterday and change the one in the fob that was low. Now that fob doesn't work at all. Took the new battery out and checked it with my VOM and it measured 3.27 V. Put it back in and still wouldn't work. Started the car with the seldom used fob and tried holding the bad one next to the good one while starting, hoping it would sense the programming--no dice. I searched on the 'net and see the dealer has to reprogram new fobs, but my fob is an original one that came with the car, so I wouldn't think it needs to be reprogrammed. Any advice on this? Would it be under warranty? ps- I pull up the contact points in the fob a little bit to make sure the battery was getting a good contact, and yes, it is in the right way--( + side down).

Hi all--hoping I can pick the brains of some of the knowledgeable people on here, when problems crop up. Thx, cheers, ....Trenton
