Default Keyless fob trouble...

Well, my keyless remote has not been working very good the last couple of days, so I figured I'll just buy a new battery....did'nt help, if I press lock a 100times it works well maybe 10 times, anobody know what could cause this? Maybe I'll try to reprogram the fob tommorow and see if that helps.

You pressed it 100 times? Maybe thats the reason it doesnt work :p


But seriously you may try to clean that one or get a new one. They are pretty cheap.

45 bucks for a new one.

what you need to do is find a way to replenis the little nubs on the rubber pad with some sort of conductive material. the problem is the graphite is rubbed out, gotta make the connection somehow. unfortunatly i ran out of options when the case cracked, had to buy a new one then. i just swapped in my old electronics board and it works perfect. maybe some day i'll try some things with the old pad. my last few tricks didnt seem to hold up to time. Superglue'n'foil or tape'n'foil. i've got a few other ideas to try before i call it quits.
