JToh Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 :D My remote door key struggles to work every so often, despite the light flashing on the key and having the batteries replaced. The problem appears to be sporadic and a real pain when carrying shopping back to the car! On occasions when it refuses to work, I tried shaking the key a few times and bang, it then manages to work. However, I tried this trick this morning and the sodding thing didn't work so I had to unlock by inserting the key! I looked inside the key and it seems everything is fine apart from that bit (size of a SIM card) which is bit loose. I am sure that I didn't damage anything while replacing the batteries. Is it a case the key itself needs replacing or I did damage something? If it is the key that needs replacing, would I be able to do it under warranty before it expires in June? Appreciate any advice!

dipsomaniac Posted April 25, 2006 Report Posted April 25, 2006 you need to get the strength of the transmitter signal measured. the dealer has a little box which can measure the signal. they should do it FOC. Quote
