Try the following:
Open up the car remote. You may need a mini screwdriver set.
You should see a circuit board in there. Now look for the part on the circuit board that makes contact with the buttons on the remote when you press them. Taking a small flat blade screwdriver, slightly scrape/clean away and dirt/muck that may be on this contact. Do the same for the underside of the button that makes contact with the board. Close back ur remote and try away :)
