the key
« on: 31 January 2008, 14:04 »
Hi all, my key doesnt seem to open my car whilst standing beside the car, when you press unlock the light quicky comes on but the car does not unlock......is this just because the battery is low and if so how do u change the battery?
Cheers

The battery is deffo the first port of call.

I think the fob slides open to reviel the battery. (note the "think" part of that)
