Key fobs still not working
Hello
Following a battery change both key remotes are not working
So today I removed checked and refitted the battery - no joy
I then checked fuse 43 okay but replaced anyway - no joy
I then check the 3 wire splice no corrosion at all so I chop and re soldered the connection - no joy
The central locking works internally and the imobaliser light is flashing so it's armed just can't remote lock the car
So where do I go now bearing in mind electrics ain't my best discipline
Any help or suggestions please

Do you mean re programming the keys

Any boffins out there to help out
Where is the receiver in the headliner
That's the next step

Have you got any water ingress on the floor at all?

After changing batteries, did you make sure no bits (tracks) were broken or shorted. When I did my batteries I used my Foxwell to rematch keys to car so that may be all that is needed.

I have no water ingress any where all completely dry
Only in a disco can you do a battery change and throw up a fault that's unfixable
Next step is to find the receiver and check the power there

Receivers up in the roof under the head lining alongside the centre light. I would still try syncing the keys

I have reprogrammed the keys using the iid tool
Might try a hard reset
Or do a restore factory settings see what that does

If you've got an IID how about getting a cheap fob from China, programming it and seeing if that works before pulling the headlining apart? If it's all gone PT after changing the batteries then chances are that's what's gone wrong.
got me confused … easily done, I know … but did you mean changing the fob batteries or the car battery ?

The car battery every thing was fine before I changed the battery all is fine now except the key fobs don't work
I've re programed both keys
I've checked and replaced fuse 43
I've checked and rewired the 3 green splice
It's got me baffled

Ah, I thought it was the batteries in the fobs.
Try a hard reset via the IID.

when you re-soldered the fob battery did you check for shorts or broken tracks. What was the original reason for changing fob batteries
Need to read the original post instead of going off half cocked
