Title: Keys
Post by: Raymienets on 03 October 2012, 13:49:02

Was having problems with my keys opened them up and noticed that battery terminals had came away from the circuit board on both keys and the previous owner had used silver paper as the contacts were no longer there. Can I just buy a replacement key and circuit board as long as I fit the chip from the original.

Best solution would be to buy a replacement battery holder and solder it in.

I keep meaning to find one that fits. I'm sure RS / Farnell will do one.

Even the contacts are missing somehow. Always wondered why the key would not lock the car remotely, No I know

Martin Imber, who used to be a regular here, does an excellent job of repairing them .. usually back within 5 days.

He's not been around in ages, so might be worth contacting him first to check he still does them.

Usually a fairly simple repair, if you can use a soldering iron...
