key fob

[alfapat]

Ok I'm new on here , and just searching around, not very well at the moment , may too new . 

I am trying to help another Jag enthusiast out to get his key fob working again for opening ,shutting doors , is there a specific sequence , not unlike my RR which pressing three times and confirming settings etc.

Amongst other things seems like a nice car X type 3.0L

Hi Patrick, Welcome to JOC!

Yes there is. Make sure you have all the keys you want to pair with the vehicle available.

1. Open drivers door.
2. Turn ignition switch between Position 1 and 2... four times. You should hear a confirmation chime.
3. Turn Ignition off and remove the key.
4. Press any button on fob within ten seconds (preferably 'Unlock') You should, again, hear a confirmation chime
5. Other key fobs can be paired by pressing any button (again preferably 'Unlock') You should hear a confirmation chime for each additional fob. I believe a maximum of four fobs can be paired per vehicle.
6. Close the door.
7. Confirm operation of paired fobs.

Ok thanks tried that and no chime , so have split the fob to check the battery but I don’t want to go further without knowledge of how I get to the battery, can’t see it, would the battery be instrumental in synchronising the set up .

Got chime now , so I need to know about battery in fob and how to access it  please.

Battery is a CR3032

pictures are worth a thousand words...

That's great , now changed cleaned , buttons full of Verdigris so now cleaned and appear to pop up and down , reassembled but cant get the second chime to confirm synchro?

I was hoping to move to next thread to resolve rear door not opening as I think unless the lock ing fob works it might not synchronize door , inner handle out .

How ever sticking to the point , is it possible the battery might not be up to it , its showing 2.96 v .

Perseverance saves the day , thanks for your help guys , deeper cleaning and attention to detail has the fob working and since then the door card has been off , the inner release handle was stuck in its mechanism and had permanently locked the door , all working now . Just the dreaded corrosion on the chassis behind the front wheel , time for a ramp job
