Hello all, i hope someone can help as i have MOT this week.
My key fob stopped working as i tried to get to work a few days ago, so I opened car with key thinking once i put key in ignition it would knock off alarm....but no. so as alarm blared at 7am i decided to disconnect battery, then i disconnected power sounder and removed fuse for hazard lights (which also disables info on dash,speedo, radio and air conditioning etc).
I went to buy a new key fob...£70
, but his tech machine wouldn't communicate with car diagnostics in order to sync new fob
. I was wondering if this had anything to do with the alarm being in activation mode, and/or the power sounder being disconnected. Btw the fuse had to be re-fitted during this. In the meantime I'm still driving car ok, but with a few dashlights flashing. The boot doesn't open either from the main console. Can't get through MOT like this.
I managed to knock together an old fob, the red light shows when pressing buttons, but no joy communicating with car.
Any help greatly appreciated
