Key Fob not working.
- Thread starter Callahan
- Start date
Received my key back from Automobile Locksmith yesterday and all is good with the world again! Turns out it was the battery but my pathetic attempt to re-solder it had caused a short circuit!! I needed to recode the key, which should be done as follows
Method 2:
To do this procedure you need to have one working key and one key that needs to be programmed.
1) Get in and close all doors.
2) Turn on the ignition and turn off quickly. (No more than 5 seconds) to start the process. Next action must take place within 30 seconds.
3) Remove the 1st key.
4) Hold the key up near your left shoulder (this is so it is closer to the remote receiver antenna.
5) Hold down the unlock button and press the lock button 3 times. Release the unlock button and the doors lock which confirms the operation.
6) Quickly repeat steps 4 & 5 for key #2 etc.
If it does not work, try doing the keys in opposite order. Key 2 then key 1, vs 1 then 2.
It's important to remember step 6, as if you don't you'll find that your original key no longer works!!
An excellent service for £28 as opposed to a new key at £200!
Thanks for everyones help.
