Key fob not recognized- Ford Escape 2019

I have been experiencing something similiar. It seemed like anytime the key fob was moved, the car would honk twice, like it was locking and unlocking, or vise versa. I thought it was the key fob battery, so I replaced it. Still honked when I would grab the fob either to go out to the car to leave, or leave the car to come into the house. or if I was just walking around with the fob in my hand. Then I came out to the car to leave, and it said it couldn't find the fob, and it was right in my hand. jiggled around a few times and it finally found the fob and started the car. But, then when I got to my destination, just having it in my hand and getting out of the car it was honking. so I left it in the center console and went to walk around to the passenger side to retrieve somethings from the passenger front seat. The doors had locked and key (and spare battery) were in the center console. AAA came and got me back in the car. I was going to change the battery again thinking the pack I was using might have been old, but as I had the back off I decided to look under the circuit board on the other half of the key fob. I noticed one of the buttons on the rubber button pad looked crumbled and falling apart. Put it back together and now the lock button won't work...but the car does start and it's not arbitrarily honking all the time. I will look into getting a replacement key fob tomorrow and let you know how much the fob and getting it programmed cost, and if it fixed the problem. Anyway, look at your button pad, under the circuit board and see if any of the buttons look damaged.
