If you look at the (clear) LED through a digital camera, you should see it 'blink' each time either of the buttons are pressed. How bright it appears to be will depend more on the 'camera' and ambient light conditions than on the remote.
If the LED is on constantly when either button is held down, the remote is faulty.
It's perhaps worth pointing out that the receiver dome has to be able to 'see' the remote LED. So IR remotes don't work when you're standing in front of the car; also wet side widows lit by the sun can mean that the signal from the remote is lost in the IR 'dazzle' from the sun.
