    04 smart entry smart start doesnt work.

    After checking with the dealer who tested the key fobs those are in fine working order. Can anyone advise a recommended solution?

    Many thanks!

    There is a button on the lower edge of the dash below the steering wheel to turn the sks system on and off. Check to see that it is turned on. The button is labelled "key"; out is on.

    If you've never changed the battery, that's the problem. For a 2004, they should have died already. Cost is about $3.50. Illustrated instructions are in the User-Guide.
