Will this work for older Harley Davidson FXSTBI Softail Nights? Mine's a 2009.

Key Fob Issues
Common causes: dead battery (most common), water damage, internal circuit damage, or the fob lost synchronization with your car. Try replacing the battery first. If that doesn't help, the fob may need reprogramming or replacement.
