Default MC 2001 "Push FOB" inop

My FOB's have quit working. I have replace the batterys.

Following the manual to do the FOB sync-up, I am stumped when I get to the part where the "push FOB" light is suppose to blink. It never does. I have disconnected the battery for up to an hour to try and "reset" all the electrical system with no luck there.

I should say that my secondary FOB worked until I tried the sync my primary FOB, then both failed the function.

I would like to find out what box it is that controls this function so that I can replace it, or if somebody has another idea that I can try...

If nobody has an idea I guess I'll have to give up my MC for a couple of days while the dealer figures out how to shaft me to the max.

Agreed ot could be that, you stop by a dealer & see if they might know?

Turned out to be the BCM. $600 later my FOB's are working again. The $600 was for diagnostics and part replacement.
