Key Fob is not locking or unlocking
It's not unusual for key fob buttons to break or wear out over time. Fortunately, this isn't an indication that the key fob will not work again; it's more likely that it has to be programmed for your vehicle. To accomplish this, you must follow a procedure that typically involves inserting and removing your key a few times, followed by pressing one of the lock or unlock buttons on the fob. The proper sequence of key turns and button presses will reset the fob to its initial settings.
If the unlock button isn't working it's likely that the battery in the fob is dead or there's a problem with the keyless entry antenna or the wiring. If the spare fob works test it first. Then call a professional to replace the old fob with a fresh one and program it to your vehicle.
Other reasons your key fob may not unlock include a faulty door lock or a problem with the trunk release and power tailgate switches. Additionally the battery in your car could be dead or very low and that could prevent your key fob from triggering the power doors or powered liftgate to open. If this is the case, you'll need to recharge or replace the battery in the Model X before it will unlock using the key fob.
