Hi all

My 2005 s type key fob stopped working overnite .. new battery next day but still not working so was hoping someone could advise

Many thanks


Check the internal contacts are properly connecting within the key fob, they are a bit fragile and easily bent away from the contact face.

    Turns out that I have pretty much the same problem with both of my fobs; one worse than the other.   Almost surely to do with the contacts, however I have not a clue about how to do anything to clean/fix them. Has anyone ever managed to solve this?

    It's really just the one contact that poses the problem, the one you can see above the battery when it's in place. Gently bend it in towards the battery, whilst you have the battery out of the slot, to move it to give a firmer contact. Also rub some emery paper across the inside face - gently - to aid the contact.

    Also, be sure to purchase quality battery replacements from a reputable source. The CR2032 bought from online sources can be duds.
