Default Switchblade remote fell into the ocean

I went in after it and got it but now it s dead, batteries leaked. I tried new batteries but no luck. Should I try to do the reprogram or is it useless?

yeah if you replaced the battery go for the re-program. let it dry out too. but the salt may cause a problem. its worth a shot. check out ebay its pretty easy to get new ones on there and then just snap your blade onto the new one and you'll be good to go. I got one for about $30 I think.

My cellphone fell into the ocean a while back. I had my wife call it a few times while I searched for it in the ocean. Strange thing is that I could hear it ring but could not find it. Also, I tried calling it a few times after I gave up and it still rang without going straight to voice mail... for over 7 hrs [sm=insomnia.gif]
