Just bought this cream puff but the elderly gentleman said the remotes all of a sudden quit working. He replaced the batteries and even ordered new remotes from GM but to know avail to get them to work. I know the transmitters work due to I have a wireless doorbell and when activate the remotes it sets off the doorbell.
Any suggestions?

Thanking you in advance..
