and it should be opened & dried I assume. How do you open this thing (like, to replace the battery?) Can't locate my owners manual at the moment. 2001 Disco John Friederich | ||

They used to carry a product at Radio Shack called Dehydrol if I remember correctly. It is great for drying out electric components and evaporates quickly. It might be nothing more than alcohol in a can for all I remember but I do remember that it saved several pieces of equipment from a tossing in the garbage pail. | ||

It has been opened for a number of hours now, the battery measures 2.9v (3v battery) but still doesn't work. I'll leave it open and try again tomorrow. It sure is clean, though. Anyone have a spare to sell? Thanks... John F | ||

Leave it open and put a large glass over top of it. The glass will help pull the water out of it. | ||

It must have finally dried out enough. Measured battery voltage at 2.9v, put it back together this afternoon, and its working fine. Thanks for your help... John F | ||

Speaking of remotes...has anyone figured out how to program these DII remote/key combos? I bought a key/remote that was used and the blade was already cut thinking that it would be cheap (or I could send my girlfriend into the Land Rover Centre batting her eyes at the service guys) to have them rekey and program it for me. So I call Land Rover of Frisco(www.landroverfrisco.com) and ask them how much they would charge me to rekey and reprogram the remote I have. The service guy tells me right off the bat it will be $45 dollars labor and transfers me to parts. The parts guy tells me that you can't just buy the blades you have to buy the whole remote/blade set which will be $110(roverconnection has it for $90 btw) and then you have to pay the service guys $40 bones to program and cut it for you. |
