If you have not tried cleaning the fob yet, try cleaning with DeoxIT D5. It’s pricey for a small can, but works wonders on old switches / contact's.

fob issue's are usually just the fob, you can try opening the fob up and clean the pcb board with rubbing alcohol dabbed on a soft cloth (rub the cloth on the button contacts) and then put it back together and see if it works better or not.
the fob is pretty basic, upper and bottom plastic piece, board, battery, rubber pad
Yikes, thats more than a pair of keys and fobs on amazon lol.
If I didn't need to get another spare key and a 2nd fob, i'd do that. Hopefully the new set from amazon will work great.
I will keep you folks posted.
Understood.
A cleaned up OEM fob may be better in the long haul, but your point is well taken .
CRC Electronics Cleaner would be a good (read: less expensive) alternative. But isopropyl alcohol would do the job, just don't leave any Q-tip cotton on the contacts.
