Press the open button on the fob.

That works. But I hate to rely on the fob to get in all the time. No
backup anymore, which the fob was. fob battery?

Carry a spare battery. They last a couple years, and iirc often give
warning that they are gettin weak, but carry one anyhow.

Most times i get one door open with the fob. The pass side has no
keyhole. Xterra.

If it is cold, heat the key with a bic.

Doesn't get very cold. Rarely a degree or two below freezing. Problems
occuring in 70s.

I can barely remember how my car worked then. '67 Pontiac.
