re: Keyless entry remote "dead zone"

It sounds like the battery in your remote needs to be changed.

my garage door openers all quit at the same time. i changed batteries and nothing worked except getting close to the opener itself.

i realized that i had changed out all of the 12v interior lights in my travel trailer to LED, and was still working on it in the driveway. when i turned off the lights, the garage door openers worked just fine.

tldr: LED lights emit signals that interfere with radio waves

As a test, turn off the main breaker in your house to eliminate any device in your home.

Within the last couple of days, both my driveway and carport have become a dead zone for several vehicles' keyless entry remotes. They work fine except for when said vehicle is parked at my house. Anyone ever expirience this or know what could be going on?

Could be the battery on the remote fob.

But aim it at your head and keep pressing buttons in the front yard to check. If you feel a tingle, there's definitely a signal. It may take a few dozen tries with each remote.

Don't worry if you look stupid. That's normal.
