Help! KEY FOB ISSUE SEARCH

[JW7]

Hi all...Have been going thru the threads for Key Fob issues and decided to do a search to perhaps narrow down the time ..when go to search or advanced search in upper right portion of forum and put in keyword..FOB..KEY FOB.. It comes up as nothing matches....
Am I doing the search incorrectly.....I know there are lots of threads out there about this...
That being said...issue came up today.......got out after a short trip today and when got back in to start..said NO KEY FOB DETECTED...I took out my fob while in car and locked car and then opened it with the buttons... start button went green on me and started right up...
Battery is new..FOBS are original ..2007
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Any other electronics near the fob? I found out when the fob is in my pocket with my cell phone, the fob is not recognized. Moved it to the opposite pocket, works like a champ

A weak fob battery will also cause that kind of issue!

Be aware that testing a battery with a volt meter is a so-so business. Testing with a battery tester is much better because it puts a load on the battery. A failing battery can show a reasonable voltage when not under load, but as soon as even a slight load is applied, that voltage can drop right down. Those little batteries are so cheap, by the time you have taken one out to test it, you might as well fit a new one.

If you aren't keeping your car's battery connected to a Battery Tender or similar pulse charger, and only starting it once during the winter months, your car battery is suspect.
