Repair Non-Working FOB DIY

I'm sure I'm not the first to do this but I couldn't find anything while searching. One of my FOB stopped working a few years ago and getting a replacement was too cost prohibitive. I previously tried repairing it but was unsuccessful. This should work for both the earlier FOB without key and new kn...

Pull the transmission dip stick and smell the fluid. It's hard to find but there is a yellow dip stick. Control Arm Bushings: grab wheel at the 3 and 9 o'clock position and wiggle Shock Mount Tear: With the hood open push down on the car and ensure the shock mount isn't torn. Do this on both sides
