Please Help!
One of my remotes has started to play up, both locking and unlocking. Sometimes needing three presses of the buttons, sometimes more to achieve a result. I have replaced the battery & syncronised the unit to the car. Nothing seems to work. Has anyone had simmilar problems? I would like to fix if possible, the remotes cost an arm and a leg in Aust. |

Don't think I can help, but the 3 times that I have had my truck to the top of Mt. Constitution on Orcas Is. in Washington State, the keyless remote didn't work! But when you come down, it's fine... go figure. |

David,
This was a problem with mine and I was working on a write up on how I fixed it. Here is quick run down on what to look for.
Pull the plastic halfs aparts and look at the clip holding the battery in place. There should be 3 areas that are soldered down to the circuit board. Mine had cracks in 2 of them so I just resoldered them in place. Problem fixed so I thought.
Happened again a few months later so I checked the connections again. This time it was the 2 buttons that had come loose. Each button has 4 points soldered down on the circuit board. On each of my buttons 3 connections were cracked. I resoldered these and then took a very small flat head and pried off the caps securing the orange rubber to the buttons. Over a period of time crude gets in there. Clean this out. When I was putting it all back together I found a small piece of foam to place behind the battery against the plastic backing. This will prevent any flex of the battery mount. No more problems after that.
