I have a third fob that I want matched with one of the two personalization memory settings, like the other fobs, but it doesn't do that. Is this something that can be changed?

I thought corrosion of the battery terminal clamp was causing the car to periodically stop working (doors won't open, engine won't start etc), because every time this happened I would fix it by...
