Don't know, don't have keyless entry on my 97 (yet)... but on my 98 I used to have that problem, and thought maybe it was just me.. I pulled the board back out of the dome light and pulled the fobs apart and cleaned them all up with contact cleaner and looked for any damaged contacts or solder joints, and didn't find any... but that seemed to have helped some... occasionally (quite a few less then originally) it would still not work till I was closer, but for me so long as they door was unlocked by the time I got to the door to open it I was happy!!
