    Key fob repair

    In the past I have read on here somewhere that someone managed to repair there remote key buttons . I mean the button on the chip not the plastic outer case . Do you think I can find the thread again .
    Was wanting to know where he sourced the button from , I can't remember if it was out of another key/chip or a replacement one .
    I can no longer unlock my car , grrr .
    I replaced the fob cases when I got the car about 3 years ago , I see you can get the flip keys now . Shame stick with what I have now .

    Thanks
    Chris

    I bought new microswitches on Ebay from UK. I bought AFAIR switches for a Ford focus , but most switches though a different shape seem to have the same dimensions.
    If Jaycar has them that is great.

    Hello Chris77

    Just solder the switch back on with a bit of flux(the solder will bite onto the broken tabs..... it worked for me and is still going.

    Cheers,

    Jason

    I've got spare switches. The flip key case still uses the original circuit board.

    I have done the same.
    Have you changed the battery in your keyfob?
    There are a couple of little plastic locking tabs that hold the circuit board inplace, pry gently with a small flat srewdriver to get it out.

    if anyone is after one or two of these PM me and I can send to you, RS components will most likely be quicker but they can't compete with the price I want for the limited number I have.
