Dads changed his battery  on his Fob as it was getting a bit dodgy and now its not working at all.....


he has done the override sequence but that still dont work..

Fob has been checked and works.




any ideas on what to try as he has had to leave it at work at the mo.



Its a 300TDi if it makes much difference :)

Cheers

when changing the battery in the fob all power in the fob must be drained other wise it don't work.

Take battery out, press the buttons like 10 times to drain all power in fob  and then put it back together. When back together, press the unlock button several times and hey presto  :P

We had a guy come in for a new battery the other day.
Upon opening the fob you could see (if you loked closely) that the cradle that holds the battery was breaking connection to the main body.
A small amount of soulder later and all was fine.
 :D

cardiff_gareth:
Another good question to ask, what way round are you putting the battery in :?:

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
