[QUOTE="alxy, post: 744981, member: 2947"] Hi bros, One of my remote fobs stopped working a few days back. That was my spare fob and I guess I forgot to take it out to charge it after a while. It worked for one lock press (though i had to press it several times for the lock to effect) and then hasn't worked since. It can still unlock, lock and start the car manually though (i.e. using the key). I have driven it around a number of times to recharge it but still no luck until now. So either the batteries have totally died or the fob needs resyncing. Whichever it is, hope some sifu can advise on: 1. If it's just the batteries, anywhere I can take it just to change batteries? 2. Resyncing process. Anyone done it before? I have tried the most common method mentioned on the web (i.e. put key in, turn to position 1, remove key within 5 secs, press and hold unlock then press lock 3 times within 30 secs), but doesn't seem to work. I tried that with my good working fob as well and no impact. So maybe I did it wrong or the procedure is not quite correct. I guess if I get new batteries somehow I would still need the resyncing process right? Anybody come across this problem before? Thanks [/QUOTE]
