There can be many options as to why your remote is not working properly.  The first step in troubleshooting your remote is to change the batteries.  A lot of times when the batteries are dying they can cause the remote to act up.  If this still does not work, you might need a new remote or a reprograming of said remote.  For assistance with this, please call 1-800-531-5000.
