[QUOTE="Tombstones81, post: 1039473, member: 74875"] Just a quick update to try & help others having the same PATs issue. 90% of the time it would only act up for the wife (typical...) haha Since Friday, I have left the transceiver unscrewed & the wife has been holding the transceivers sensor against the ignition when turning the key into the On position with Zero issues. Not sure if its the same for other ST's. But my 05, there is quite a gap between the ignition & the transceiver sensor thats behind it. & even tho I am not using the new transceiver I ordered. Grateful it gave me the idea to hold the sensor closer like I've been. Was waiting on a mobile locksmith on Friday but they never answered their phone after an hour they said to call them back. So I am still waiting to get another key cut & programmed to test which sensor is weak. Just commenting in hopes it will help others having stupid PATs issues. Oh & I am not sure if the cover behind the steering wheel covers the transceiver sensor behind the ignition. As my covers have been off since I was getting the gauges repaired & fixing a part in the column. Still have to replace the shifting lever as the Overdrive button has broken on the current one since I got it. Have it, just have not gotten around to it yet. thats why I dont know if the cover covers the sensor. [/QUOTE]
