sounds weird,but give this a go,on both sides of the batteries,and all the metal contacts,clean them with a rubber (eraser).....then re-assemble the remote using as little finger contact as possible..

Well, if you leave the fob in your pocket, the button may be pushed a number of times inadvertently, and that can bring it out of sync.
Iirc, it takes about 10(?) pushes to make the fob loose sync.

it is posible they are kept either in pocket or handbag , and with all the extra shoping due to christmas that the buttons are getting pressed more often. will keep a good eye on fob tomorrow to make sure buttons dont get pressed in case it was all it was , be nice if it is .
