Three button remote key case fix
« on: 27 October 2009, 21:12:07 »

I had a pair of very tatty keys with my car, one slow to work and both with holed buttons, so I looked for a solution.

On ebay there were three options available, all of which involved removing the blade end of the key, retaining the innards and replacing the case, battery and switches as needed;

1/ just the case £9.99
2/ case and new battery £12.99
3/case, new battery and three micro switches £13.99
all plus approx £1.28 postage

I ordered two
"Vauxhall three button key repair kits"
from rdn_electronics (case and battery £12.99)-they arrived in 24hrs.

Just put them together and the keys now look like new and work 100%.  Luckily, the micro-switches were intact and I did not have to buy the kit that includes these-they involve intricate soldering which would be mighty fiddly!

So, from tatty, poor keys to as new in about 10 minutes and under £15 per key-including a new longlife battery.

Highly recommended solution-cheap and easy fix  :y

just ripped the rubber membrane on one of my 3 button keys. Will this kit do the job? Guessing it will?

Yep, piece of cake.

My keys like new.  If your battery is ok, just order the £9.99 kit.

Good luck  :y
