Just took mine apart. Guess this ain't my issue, I got two nipples already. From a 2014. Joe does Big Red have the new?

I'll have to check when I get home. Haven't had an issue with Little Red, so didn't think about it.

I took mine apart just out of curisoty. No nipples. With a fresh battery, I can start mine from my desk, through a brick wall, across a street, and past the smoking gazebo to my parking spot. Probably 25 or 35 yards depending on which side of the lot I park on.

I am glad that the swap worked out for you YJ. I think Jimbo had this issue too. May have been someone else, I am old and don't remember.

Rick - I finally remembered to check last night. Little Red does have the nipples on the gasket.

Guess I need to add this to the service list when I go in.

Adding a couple stiff nipples to my service list.

My Dealership wouldn't replace the gaskets stating that the system is working correctly. *******!!! I should have reminded them that I just bought a $50k Explorer from them. It's a 50 cent part. Online stores want atleast $7.00 for shipping. I may check the parts dept at one of the other dozen Ford dealerships in the area.

I have the nipples on mine, but my range is still dismally low. I'd solder in an extended antenna but the fob's mainboard is sealed in an enclosure, and I don't want to ruin the plastic... Anyone know an easy way to get this fob taken completely apart ?
