Key Fob not working
My key fob just stopped working today. It worked fine at 5:00 pm then again at 7:00pm, but when I arrived at the restaurant they did not work, which was only 10 min away. I only know this because I was trying to unlock them and the lights would NOT come on, my son ran to the truck and opened the door. I just thought the battery was dead, so when I got home checked to see what kind of battery it was then thought,
lets try my wife's key, that did not work either.
Any ideas of what could be wrong. Would like to maybe fix it without taking it to the dealer and waiting for it. Thanks for any input.
The door keypad still works just fine too.

Now it's working, WTF. It sat all day and now it works with both keys, drove it and it still works. Does anyone know where the receiver is on my truck, thinking it just might be a loose connection or a loose plug.

Here is another update. It stopped working a little while later. So I started looking for the control module. Looks like it is behind the glove box. You can here it click every time you push the key fob button. So I just wiggled the wires and plugs to make sure there is good contact and ever since then it has work perfectly. I was hoping it would stop so I could check the wires again but it has not happened yet.
