Key Has To Be Reminded It Can Work!

[jeebowhite]

Wonder if anyone else has seen this... Or has any idea's!

Yesterday, I unlocked the car per the norm, when I tried to lock the doors again, it didnt lock! Normally this is a sign the doors arent secured, but I didnt even hear it try to click!

So I thought battery must be dead. Left it till home time.

Heading out to the car, monsoon weather arrived - great! of the days I would love to click and jump in, this just had to happen! so I drove off and buy some new batteries. Fitted and.... Nothing!

So I throw the car into pairing mode, press the button.... Nothing!

Thinking the key must have had it, I drove home, locked up the old fashioned way, and then got the spare.

Unlocked the car with the spare - worked first time, locked it again. worked.... Tried my flip key and all of a sudden, it works!!!

So, I took both keys with me this morning. Tried to unlock the car with the flip key again, nothing! none of the buttons work, then, as soon as I click unlock with my other key, the flip key starts working perfectly!!!

Anyone heard of this? it could be an intermittent remote, but I dont understand how using the other key can make the flip one work!!!

I can only guess that the key fob has an intermittent fault - probably with the button (how many people jab the buttons on the TV remote when the batteries are dead? Lol)

The fact it worked after the other sounds like a fluke?

I know how the key feels...I have to be reminded to work too :P

Yeah weird thing is none of the three buttons work. Probably the transponder is at fault...
