Hi there guys , :y
Probably a simlpe one for you guys , but remote key stopped working the other day , have changed the battery but it still doesn't work .
My spare key still works , so I know its nothing wrong with the car , any suggestions? :-/ :-/

Was the battery holder still conected inside the key properly as these have a habit of breaking off?/
Did you change the battery within 3 mins?

Probably changed battery within three weeks ;D ordered it off e-bay before going to Hong Kong took ages to arrive . But if battery was flat would this still make a differance?

Put key in ign & turn on - no need to start.
Press one or the other of the button ons the fob, the central locking will lock & unlock.
Key sync'd. :y
Just looking at your car ..... I'm not sure it'll work on a car THAT old. ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

Strange thing though ,
Just tried the same procedure with the key that does work and nothing happens when I press the button with key in ignition and ignition turned on :-?
Car is definitly 1998 :-[ miny facelift so you'd think it would work with the operational key but not the 'dead' key , odd :-?

I would suspect the solder joint between the circuit board & the battery contact
It's worth resoldering to eliminate that as the cause
Takes seconds to do
:) :)

The battery holder bent a little as I was taking the battery out but didnt seem to be damaged at all , will have a closer look at holder and soldered joints tomorrow :y

Nice one Pitchfork :y
Had a closer look at key today and had a poke around , thought as key's not working got nothing to loose anyway one of the contacts was broken . :D
Thinking back I dropped the key just before it stopped working so maybe this broke the connection in the first place :(
Still don't know why the key re-set with key in ignition doesn't seem to work though , nothing happened with either key . Never mind happy now got 2 functioning keys again [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

On my 98 TD estate, you have to switch the engine on and press the close button on the remote within 30 seconds to re-sync the key. Central locking pops up and down to tell you it's been done. I have to re-sync it on a daily basis though. :(
