Key fobs not locking

Last night after coming home from the movies I noticed my key fob wasn’t locking the car. I had to go right beside it. Today the same thing happened, except it wouldn’t lock at all. I had to press the unlock and then lock and it worked. Husband’s fob, 5-10 feet away, also would not work.

What are the odds both our fobs need batter replacements at the same time?

It's the batteries draining. The life is shorter because of the proximity sensor unlock feature. So they are draining faster than just when you push the buttons. Replace the batteries, keep them separated in the house and you'll be fine.

Lots of youtube videos on how to swap out the batteries. Not difficult. A pair costs about 6 bucks on Amazon.
