Cant resync key.
« on: 25 May 2024, 19:13:30 »
Second key for the Omega. Is rarely used. Last time probably two or three years ago.
Put a new battery in it today. Put key in ignition, turned to position one (also tried with ignition on) pressed lock unlock several times, nothing doing.
Could be battery connections inside key, but as it doesnt get used its hard to see how its got damaged.
Any other possibilities I can check ?

Is it a 'just purchased new' or 'sat in a drawer unused for two years' new? :-\

Came with the car seven years ago and has been on swmbos keyring, largely unused since then.
Tested voltage in the new battery and it showed just over 3v.

Pop apart and check if batt connections are broken (where metal bit attaches to PCB).

Photo if not sure.

You've never lived till you've tried it with the door open.

Nah !
All the people in the local park rarely have pets with them  ;)

they all seem very loving and affectionate  :)

though I don't know WHY they don't change the batteries in their car keys while it's light  :-\
always seems to be late at night  ???

Daytime is certainly much better, more people to potentially catch you jiggling your fobs... >:D
