I have not found anything recent that covers my problem so I will have to ask the experts. I have a 2009 Passion and the fob will not lock the doors anymore. It unlocks and starts the car fine but I have to get my wifes key to lock the doors. I think the electronics went south on me because I can hear the micro switch click when I press the button but no locking. The battery is new in the fob. Where is the best place to get a new key? I see new blanks online for $25 but how do I get it cut and programmed? Can't imagine the dealer would be real happy if I walk in and hand him a key and ask for it to be programmed and cut. What is the solution?
Thanks.

Brad, I have read your original post and understand the problem.
Your FOB has a New Battery as you posted in your first post. Still doesn't LOCK the car, but unlocks and starts the car.
Your wife's FOB Locks, unlocks and starts the car. Everything seem good in the car.
I also think there is a problem with your FOB.
Now as far as a mail order FOB. I have one. Bought it for around $25 on line. Easy Peasy. Picture below of my key.
Found a locksmith who could cut My key and Program it for $125 paid up front, NO GUARANTEE IT WOULD WORK.
OR
For $160 the locksmith would supply the key cut and program it and GUARANTEE IT TO WORK.
Finding an Independent locksmith with a computer that will program the key to the car was the hard part.
I also visited Fletcher Jones Imports and got their price for a New Key, Cutting and Programing $425.
Plz keep us updated on your progress.
