Re: Washed my fob again
Three times!? WOW! Do you have an HE washer or an old school-style one? After using an HE one for a couple years, I definitely think the odds of survival greater than if you are using a traditional machine---the water usage is much, much lower in an HE.

Count your blessings.
A friend, parked next to me, dropped his fob into a puddle last week. The car then would not start, and anything he tried, set off his alarm !

Actualy, John didn't say his friend had a TCH. I have an 09 Venza with the smart key system, and I can open the hatch as I approach the car from my fob. It powers up and is ready to input items when I get here.

David, Hehe, yeah, I got to thinking about your question, and figured that was the likely answer.
