Title: Tearing my hair out !!
Post by fordfreak on Sep 24^th, 2005, 10:47am

Hi there
After stripping down and cleaning my remote fob for the umpteenth time it has now finally decided not to work anymore. Previously it needed re-programming daily ( i know !!). Well now when i follow the reprogramming i get the bong after the fourth turn but nothing when i press the fob. Checked the batteries etc,etc.

Is there anyone local to me who would be willing to pop over (or i pop over to them) just so that i can try their fob on my car before i can eliminate it (the fob that is! Mind you the way i'm feeling now maybe the car as well!!).
I don't hink it could be the alarm control module because i'm still getting the initial bong and the central locking and alarm are working - i know this as this morning the fob did lock me into the car (deadlocked!!). >:(

Sorry i forgot to add i'm in birmingham.
I tried the fuel shut off switch ( i really was hoping this would be it) but to no success...
I can't help but think it may well be the remote not sending a signal out. Whilst checking the batteries i used the voltmeter across the button contacts and they seem okay. So the buttons are working but maybe not sending anything out ?
