| Central locking not working (but only with 1 key) |
|
Hi guys, before I demolish the spare key to get the battery out I thought I'd ask on here 1st,
My now spare key for 2007 D3 won't work the central locking system but starts the car fine, the other key works the system so I don't think it would be a fault in the system.
Is there any advice, tricks or tips I can get this key operational again before I attack it with a screw driver?
I've watched the vids on how to get the battery out and they all look horrendous 
thanks in advance

I used a small hacksaw, carefully and gently working round , until the two halves prised apart, I then soldered in a new battery and installed the circuit board etc in a new case. Its possible the charging circuit for the battery is faulty but more likely its just the battery. You could send it away to done if you are not confident

Thanks for the tip, I'll probably try your method unless the cost of sending it away is reasonably low £50 or less.
cheers
