Hi,

The other day my fob stopped working. Seeing as I've had the car 4 years and not ever changed the battery in the fob, I just assumed it was dead so I changed the battery for another today, but it didn't do the trick. My dad tested the battery I originally had in the fob and it was in fully working order, so it was not dead.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

I'm lazy and prefer locking the car with the remote buttons on my key rather than using the key hole

Edit: I have no clue about these types of things, but this is the [b]only[/b] key I have for my car (I decided against getting another, too expensive!) - so please excuse my ignorance, but if the key/fob thingy was 'broken' (not the battery) would I no longer be able to start the engine with it?

[font="Tahoma"][/font]My key fob also went a bit wrong, and has done a couple times if the battery is disconnected. Give this a try.

[list=1]
[*]Open the door with the key
[*]Put the key in the ignition
[*]Turn the key to the second position (lights up the dashboard)
[*]Turn the key back to the off position
[*]Repeat steps 3 & 4 four times (you will hear an audio sound if you have done it right)
[*]When you hear the audio sound press the lock button on your key fob a few times (I normally hit it about 6 or so times for about 10 seconds)
[*]If the doors lock, you are laughing and you have fixed it, if the doors don't then give it another go (I couldn't do it right first time)
[/list]

Hope this helps.. Good Luck

Thanks shaolin2000, I'll give it a try!
