Usually a antenna problem. You can try looking up serial number with you keyless entry company and see if they offer a replacement one. Or just move the placement of the antenna. If the antenna is placed to close to a power wire that can cause a issue.

Usually a small piece of plastic with 3 wires attached. It all depends on your model. Another thing you can try is when you use your remote put it by your chin when you press it. I know it sounds stupid but it accualy boosts your remote antenna by 20-30% if you have a extended antenna it will look like the one in the picture below. other wise it will only be 1-2 inches long right off the box
