Remote Key/problem With One Key?

[Per O]

Hello!

 

I have a strange problem. I have three keys to my galaxy, two with remote lock fob and one spare key without remote lock function.

 

Lets focus on the remote keys. They have both worked fine until a while ago. Then one of them was a little tricky to use, one would have to press several times before it locked/unlocked remotely. Now it does not work at all, so I replaced the batteries in it. Don't know how long it took to change them but probably too long since it still does not work. It blinks while pressing any button but nothing happens.

 

The other remote key works fine, unlocks and lock all doors when it is used. Now to the weird part, the remote key that does not work remote can be used to unlock the drivers door but not the others? It is like it is not activating central locking??

 

And also I have red all forums on the Internet and this about reprogramming the key, by turn the key unlock 3 times and wait 0,5 secs in unlock state every time all done in 5 secs. I think I have tried this 200 times it does not work with any of the remote keys, the led on driver door won't lit. Only flashing when locked.

 

As yet another info the faulty/unprogrammed key seems to work to program if the car would let me since if I press the lock button and hold it and then press the unlock button 3 times it starts flashing with the led.

 

Why isn't the led on the drivers door lit when turning the key as mentioned? Could the reprogramming be dissfunctional but the normal use works fine?

 

All suggestions would be gladly appreciated!

.the first port of call would be to check the wiring looms into the car door . make sure there s no broken wires . as for your "intermittent key " do the buttons click when you press them ? within the actual switch there s a small concave "popper" what pop s in and out everytime when you press the switch but when broken only pops in so it takes several presses to get a connection. my remote key was the same so i raided an old freeveiw box switch and swapped the concave popper s over. as good as new now.
