Key fob has stopped working
« on: 19 June 2012, 16:56:27 »

Hi Guy's

After the car has been sitting on the drive for a month or so she was finally started up and was left running today.. All is fine on that front  :y

Only prob I have now is my one and only key seems to have stopped responding to the car? I can't lock, open or open the boot?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance  :y

Can't see that little red light on the fob when I press the buttons so I guess changing the battery will be a good start  ;D  ::)

Thought the key may have gone out of sync with the car as it hasn't been used for two months or so........ Had kept the car unlcoked whilst the battery was dead etc..........

if the bat has died then it will need a re-sync anyway. as said, key in ignition, doors closed, press & hold button, locks close then re-open. if i remember right.  :y

Cheers Jon,  I do remember it working a few days ago but since then perhaps the battery has died  :o

Will get it changed and then try and re- sync to the car  :y

Thanks  :y

Tried to reply a moment ago but for some reason the post did not work. I have recently replaced my key fobs. The originals were shot, both batteries and buttons. The new fobs needed recoding to the ECU (computer chip). The dealers like this work! If the ECU still 'remembers' your fob after a battery failure/replacement you may be able to recode it as per one of the previous threads (position 2 and press a remote button) detailed in the owners manual. You can use the key alone in certain models but you need to unlock, re-lock and re-unlock in sequence in a matter of a few seconds to prevent the alarm activating. Annoying for the neighbours a t 7am if you continually get it wrong. I've sorted mine now so come back if you are stuck.

Am I right in thinking if I leave the car unlocked at the mo until I get the battery changed ( cos I need to buy one ) I'm not going to be causing any alarms or powersounder to go off?

Can I still drive the car if I need to? Sorry for the stupid questions  :D  :D  ;D

Once I change the battery, will I just need to re - sync to the car and all should work?

Thanks for all your help  :y
