A good use for the foil, and another quick fix added to the database.

 

Holy cow! I literally did this about 5 minutes ago after finding this while I was surfing the forum at school. After about 2 years, I have a working remote again! Thanks dude!

 

It cost me over $100.00 At the dealer for a new fob and program it. Sucks

 

STICKY! Please

 

Another alternative to getting a new remote is to get a new case. The locksmith near me sells the cases, which include a new silicone keypad, for $9.50. Take out the old circuit board, snap it into the new case, and you're set.

 

Get an old calculator cut the lil contact pads off cut the ones off yer key fob the silicone the new ones in. Tada did it to mine np since. You can also buy a jar of that contact paint cant remember where tho was an online electrical supplier. Made the stuff

 

after about a year and a half, have had this in my fobs......totally fixed to this day. prior, couldnt open the door til i was bout 5 feet away.........

Anyone have a discount code for keylessfix?

 

Yeah! I just did the tin foil glued to the contacts too, worked great!

I previously soldered the center tab of the battery case;

cleaned contacts with a rubber pencil eraser and alcohol,

but the last fix, with tin foil glued on the contacts (w/Super Glue) made everything work!

Saved $100!

 

My keylessfix came in the mail today. I am not really sure how it could take 4 days to get to Ohio from Michigan, but the shipping was free, so....

Anyway, it worked!, but not immediately. I went out and manually unlocked the doors, relocked them, and it worked after that.
