Negative... that was the first thing I did. Replaced batteries in both keys. Same thing would happen. Sometimes it would start the first push of the start button, other times the "no key" would light up on the display and show the "insert key into port" picture.... Sometimes if the car wouldn't start using the button, I could hit the unlock button on my key while I was in the car, and then push the start button and everything started like normal.. It was like the ECU was confused or something after I removed the steering lock fuse, like it couldn't read the key anymore unless I plugged it into the port...

Anyways, everything is good now. And as far as I know, my REV C was working fine... I only bought a REV D because a member on here was selling it for dirt cheap. So after I put the fuse back in, I went ahead and installed the new lock... starts with absolutely no problems.
