Default Key fob/ Tssm Help Please

My tssm got some water in the connector and has been acting weird ever since. I finally took the connector off to find that it was full of garbage, thus I cleaned it up and added dielectric grease to the fittings in hopes to prevent this again in the future.

Now my key fob doesn't do anything, all while it worked prior to the tssm being removed from the bike.

09 ultra...

any Ideas??

Did you replace the battery in fob? The corrosion may just have been co-incidental.

I got it figured out.
Just a matter of walking away from the bike with the fob and trying again :-)

There is a little rectangular black box on top of the battery tray. THAT is the Fob antennae. Make sure that is in place and not tucked down besides the battery.

Well its not solved. Brand new fresh battery installed correctly, positive side down.

I rode it yesterday, stopped for a few hours and when I returned to the bike with the fob the bike disarmed and fired up. This am I went out to the bike with the fob and the alarm went off, wouldn't start without manually entering the code. WTH?
