Key Fob Programming Not Working

Post by Shacho » Thu May 19, 2022 12:31 am

I replaced my key fobs with new panasonic VL2020 3V battery and I still can not get the key fobs to program. Both keys works with the car. I checked the fuses and all is good. I have tried all the suggested methods to program but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I can't help on your issue but how did you get it open?

I used a razor blade to cut the seam...it's doable just be careful not to cut the circuit board or your fingers. Also, you can check Youtude for videos, there are plenty showing the process.

What reset methods have you tried? There may be others.

Have you done the five times on and off reset?

Hey Shacho, where are you based? I used a great guy in Barking. The man's a whizz when it comes to keys. It may be worth paying him a visit or just giving him a quick call. BM keys in Barking. He's on google :thumbsup:
