Key fob battery replaced (no improvement)ĭashboard battery display was reading anywhere between 14-15V this morning, so car battery is no different to usual. Only one key (my fault for not asking when buying) Failed at the first stage (key in ignition, on to lock 6 times) I drove the car home (lots of questioning looks from others in the car park when the alarm started going off) then had a good read on here, found the reprogramming thread and gave that a go. The car's still not responding to my frantic button stabbing. Got to Morrisons, they had the right battery, hooray! Took me a while to work out it would stop when I started the ignition, whoops. So I unlock the door using the physical key, open the door, and of course the alarm starts going off. (Of course I didn't get round to it, always forget the problem when it's not happening!)Īnyway, I went to the gym last night, walked out and the fob had died a death, stood there for about 5 minutes, warming the key between my hands, in my pocket, blah blah blah, absolutely nothing. I put this down to the battery running a little low and the keys getting cold(er) next to the front door, made a mental note to myself to buy a battery at the next opportunity.

I noticed this first a couple of weeks ago, walking to my car in the morning, normally it would unlock as soon as I pressed the button stepping out of my front door, but it took until I'd walked around the car to the drivers door for the key fob to wake up and unlock the car, didn't think too much of it.Īs time went past it got steadily worse, but only ever in the morning - just after I've pulled the keys off the rack.
