Broken Unlock Button on key FOB

So i dunno how this happen.. i was just going to move my car earlier today and i press the unlock button on my alarm (stock alarm) and it didn't work, so i ended up just unlock my car with the key. My alarm goes off and im pressing the unlock button, but it doesn't do anything..so i ended up arming it again. I figure the fob may have just ran outta batteries, so i just head over to the CVS and replaced it. I replaced it and it still didn't work. I opened up the whole remote and the unlock button fell out. It looks like the solder was loosen and its just came off.

I am going to attempt to cycle the on/off so i can bypass the alarm and be able to drive off without the car honking. Hopefully this works.

Anyone locoally can help me solder this button back on? lmk! thanks!

This happened to my unlock button as well. I just went and got the spare key and swapped out the alarm buttons. No idea how this happened, but it seems like a fairly difficult fix.

You can manually lock it for now, and if the alarm goes off, just turn the car into the "on" position and back off three times to disable it.

If all else fails, I guess just get a new fob.

I have the same problem. Hit the lock button twice when you arrive somewhere and are leaving the car to lock it.
When you are getting in the car use the manual lock with the key, alarm will not go off
