Title: Still Remote problems
Post by dxt on Feb 11^th, 2008, 7:33pm

Firstly a big thankyou to Alastair. Spare arrived and I now have a remote in good order. (I will do as I promised Alastair.)
However I still cannot reprogram the remote. After turning the key to 1 three times I get the 'ping' but after pressing 'unlock' and switching off I don't get the second 'ping' and the remote still doesn't work. I have bought two new batteries and cleaned the cicuit board etc. but nothing at all. Didn't I read on the site somewhere that if the remote hadn't been used for a while there was something else you had to do.??
Only good thing today was the old beauty (the scorp not the wife) passed her MOT with flying colours.!!

Sounds like a remote problem, batteries in the right way?
Do you have any members near you with a working remote who may be able to try it on your car?

Programming the remote can sometimes take several goes.
... The 2nd " ping " should come as you press the unlock on the remote NOT when you switch off, Try cleaning ALL the cotacs etc in the remote as suggested in the repair info on the main site.
I had one remote that had this problem and it took new batteries twice and several cleaning attempts before it re programme.
