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.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thought i would share some findings. On nearly every occasion posts are returned with some fantastic advice. However, key fob posts very often return with results like REPLACE or CHANGE BATTERY or REVERSE POLARITY etc, all excellent advice. When mine packed up again recently i got sick of feeling 'here goes another one'. The advice i got at my recent service was once again to replace the fob and have a new one reprogrammed. However, whilst i've taken the key fob apart in the past and found the pcb broke, on this occasion i could see little wrong. Then you might think the transponder is an issue. However, and this may be good for others to know. If you find the fob stops working i found that the battery touch point on the side wall of its recess wasn't connecting all the time. I know this sounds simple and it is, but with a simple prizing of the connection point, the fob has been working fine ever since. Sometimes these units are given up on too easily and if i had said go ahead i would have been another £100 out of pocket.
