Key Fob Catastrophe

Mine wouldn't work from when I bought the car and the second had a lacerated case.
In my case the red light illuminated on my first key, but the second key didn't.
I bought fob tester on ebay for AFAIR about $40 which I still have. This is just a broadspectrum receiver which lights an LED if itr detects a signal.

In my case both fobs lit the LED after I fixed the microswitch.
This indicated the receiver in the roof was faulty, so I bought a second hand receiver and now everything works.

If you want to borrow the RF tester I am happy to lend it to you.

A mobile phone repairer or radio repairer should be able to fix a bad microswitch for a reasonable fee.

Whats the frequency of the fobs you have? Im after one with 433...I think! 2004 d2.

The micro switch can break free from its solder joint aswell, and just requires re attachment.

I have spare buttons If thats the issue send it to me and I'll replace them.

Mine are 433Mhz. Your car will be 433. 315Mhz for model year 1999, although I came across a 2002 the other day with 315Mhz, I can only assume it had the receiver changed.

I've sent you a PM.
