This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hiya..noticed today that one of my key fobs doesn't turn lock or unlock the car (even when adjacent to it). The LED flashed rapidly too..rather than the one continuous flash. Changed battery but made no difference - anyone had similar experience? Thanks!

POST 2Original post

They sometimes lose their coding for no apparent reason. It has happened to me before. You can try restarting the processor in the key head, which works occasionaly. Insert the coin cell the wrong way up (negative polarity) for 2-3 seconds, and then remove it and put it back the right way round.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Richard..thanks for very prompt response! Unfortunately that didn't work..trip to OPC?

POST 4Original post

I'm afraid it probably is...... Or forget about it, and just use the defunct one as a spare, if you don't need two working remotes.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
