Need a new Key Fob Battery or is it someat else?
23. Mar 2011 at 19:40

Hi Guys

went out to me car about an hour ago, pressed the key fob to open me doors and nowt happened Shocked

pressed it a few times and still nothing
looked at the key fob and noticed no red light coming on!
so, stuck my key in and alarm went off! Angry

soon as i turnt engine, she started and i drove off

went in to town, parked in the high street and pressed the keyfob and its light came on!

new key fob battery needed?
i have only got one key for this car Embarrassed

what batteries do i need?

or is this the above happening because to avoid my alarm going off for the last 3 years, i have to press that Switch in the car with the "running man" symbol if you all know the switch i mean?

Or if the OP has the "horseshoe" type key with the detachable fob, send it to Martin for repairs

i turnt the ignition on, the notch just before you start the car.... and then pressed the key fob lock button, nothing happened? is that right? what should happen?

i`m also going to buy a new battery anyway, how long do you get to open the fob and put a new battery in and shut it again, before you have to get it recoded?

As long as you like, you may have to resync as above but that's all.
If you change the battery be careful of the little chip that sits in one side of the horseshoe blade.
Lose that and it'll never start.
It's a good idea to stick it into the slot in the horseshoe with a dab of superglue to be on the safe side.
