Title: Key Issue
Post by: Makaveli on 27 March 2008, 10:51

Over the weekend my key started opening the car but also setting the alarm off at the same time!  The next day it was OK until today where it has stopped working altogether  :cry:

I have swopped the battery over with the spare one and that doesn't solve the problem either.  And with a new battery in the duff key it still doesn't work!

Anyone have this issue?

Have you attempted to synch it back to the car again? There should be something in your manual about what happens if the key does not auto unlock etc. You need to put the key in the lock and then with a certain time frame perform actions to get it synched again. I would try that first.

Yeah tried that. 

The light has stopped working on the key so it is looking like a trip to the stealer  :cry:
