    open key with stanley knife (blade type) squeeze buttons against circuit board and try pressing the unlock/lock buttons to see if it works because what could be happening is the circuit moves away from buttons due to pressing too hard over a long period of time. I used vinyl wrap off cuts to fill in the back cover and give it some pressure on the back side of the circuit board as much as permissible then super glue it back together after testing successfully of course.....worked for me.

      interesting, my key will unlock doors and start, but middle button dead for locking. It was flaky when I got car then quit locking altogether, gonna see if adding backing will fix middle button, thanks for idea.

      @ I bought a frequency checker and my keys seems to emit a frequency that is lower than the range that all the keys in the states are supposed to emit (regardless of the make and model) so at this point I think it’s the key that is bad, or maybe the two different batteries I tried were low too.
      I recently (today actually) got some keyfobs and I will try to program them, I’ve became a mechanic since and I’m working at a shop that specializes in Porsches , bmw and Audi, so if I can’t do it on my own I’ll check with the tools they have at the shop and if I remember I’ll update you here.

      @@davidturner1774 mine did the same thing! I coded the new car battery to the car, went through those steps. Then after noticed my key fob not be able to unlock and lock my doors. It would start the car and drive tho. Side note, my wife’s key fob did work 100% with the car. So I just continued to use the key fob with the car it somehow it synced back up and started working again.

    • @olaf2046
      @olaf2046  5 років тому +4

      No it can be an issue that was the point here. Don't go to the dealership and pay for a new key ($200 to $400) or have them go over your car ($175 per hour) to tell you it's a $4000 part that needs to be replaced. That, Valentin Yakimenko, was the point of this video. Check and replace the fuses corresponding to the door/remote locking behind your glove box for free in a few easy steps

    My key was not working, I took the key from the fob and opened the trunk , alarm sounds for ten minutes as I was hooking up car batt charger. Replace battery in fob, still not working. Set alarm off again, used key to unlock door put fob into ignition,started fine, alarm off. Ran for a few minutes. Then checked the remote again, working fine. I think putting it into ignition reprogramed it back to the car after months of not using it. I Don't know

    You said the fuse thing didn't fix it. Your battery must be dead even if the car doesn't tell you. My 2nd key battery died because I never used it and when inserted in the car there is no warning at all. Warnning must only apply to the comfort acces ones.
