Thread: Key fob issue

Shano,
Open up the remote and carefully inspect the holder for the battery. The solder commonly breaks and requires resoldering as the circuit will be open.

Also, replace the battery while you are in there. (CR2015 IIRC?)

Replaced battery and solder joints are fine (evidence on 1 fob of a repair). Still nothing. Where is the unit in the car located ?

Shano, the unit is under the passenger side of the dash, behind glovebox. It is a green coloured box. It is possible that the aerial has been damaged but unlikely. Were both remotes working until now?

Well unsure of second unit as i didnt check it when i purchased, but it looks like new. Hmm its gota be something simple surely.

There is a fuse for the central locking, if one of the actuators has fried itself the fuse will blow. Does the central lock work if you use the key in the drivers door? If not then I suspect the fuse has blown. I can't remember which one it is but it is a picture of a door and a lock on the fuse box cover under the steering column.

JC

key works fine, just the key fobs that dont.

Try disconnecting the battery and leave it for a while then reconnect. ( ie do a hard reset of the alarm/remote locking unit )

If that doesn't work you may need to take it to an aftermarket LR servicer who has a Testbook to get the fobs resynched.
