Default key fob works sometimes?

Weird, but my key fob doesn't work at my in laws. lol, yes I know. At my apartment, work, store, friends house, anywhere really it works perfect. I haven't had any issues but when I park at my in laws driveway it won't work at all no matter what I do. can't auto start, unlock or lock doors, panic button...nothing works? They do have power lines running right on the side of the house and I haven't tried parking elsewhere. they have a drive through, U shaped driveway so either side doesn't work. Strange?

Ready for the in law jokes.

I had the same issue, and changed the battery. Seems to work much better now

Try pulling the battery, wipe it off, and try again.
Mine gets pocket lint and crap on it, and works better after I pull the battery and clean it off.
