Key on the way out?

Guys, my keyfob is getting a bit lazy, every now and then it wont lock/unlock my doors, have to stand right next to it and keep pressing it until it finally works.

New battery or something worse?

Cheers in advance, Chris.

Does the light flash?

Mine did this and I changed the battery and the extra distance gained was unbelievable.

Normally shorter distance etc is caused by a low battery.Get it changed and let us know how you get on.

Yep this happened to one of my keys too. Got the battery changed and it's perfectly fine now.

I have got the same problem with mine, I literally have to stand about a yard away to get it to work lol

New Battery is something that needs to be ordered

When the battery is new you can literally lock it from 30+ meters away haha.

This isnt always the case though. One of my fobs had developed a fault, that even with a new battery, the range was about 30cm from the lock and half the time it still didnt work. New fob and it was happy days!

That's the problem I got with mine before It eventually stopped working. Was going to order the part from hickleys but trying to find the cheapest way go get a spare key made aswel as this at the moment.
Apparently the transponder can be cloned and coded. But need to find some way/how to do it lol

My key is doing the same and u changed the battery and still only works as and when!!!

Looks like I need a new fob. Good thing Mr Perkins pointed me in the right direction a few weeks ago.

Cheers will do, only thing is I think they are quite far away from me, so unless they're dirt cheap might not be worth going down
