Evening all . I have a slight problem with my car the key fob has decided to stop working .
I have changed the battery but still not unlock or lock . So every time I use the key to unlock it the alarm goes off .
Any ideas as it was working ok before.
Thanks mick

Try putting the key in the ignition and turning to position 2 then press the lock and unlock buttons a couple of times. That hopefully should sort it.
-
I shall try that again tomorrow but did not work earlier

When you changed the battery did you check the little black immobiliser thingy wasnt disturbed.

two different things. The 'black immobiliser thingy' is as you said for the immobiliser .... it talks to the car to allow the car to start ..... nothing to do with getting in, in the first place. :y

The battery holder is a known weak point ..... it comes away from the pcb. You can often 'bodge it' by padding the fob case out a little to ensure the battery makes contact.

Or the little tab that goes on top of the battery normally bends up :y

All sorted now thanks bit of card in the back to make better contact
Thanks

Given your location, it may be worth having a word with Marks DTM, see if he can solder it in properly. Bits of card/folded paper tends not to work for too long
-
I shall have to sort it out properly when I get round to it .
To be fare thinking of getting rid shortly . Runs great but need a change

I also have inherited a non-functional key with my recent purchase. I fitted a new battery but it made no difference. As far as I can see there is no little tab to contact the top of the battery. Is there more than one type of key? Mine is for a bottom of the range 2.6 from 2001 and has just the two buttons lock and unlock. Are replacement electronics modules available? Any help much appreciated.
