well it worked at 5pm last night but not at 9am this morning !! It did let me use the eka code though.
so I get home ok lock using the key , about 1hr later I go out to start removing the head liner (I still get the odd drip) unlock with the key , open door , NO ALARM put key in and it starts.
I'm wondering if using the eka code disables the alarm/immobiliser until a fob is used again?? this would explain why it wouldn't take the eka code the other day, it was already disarmed??
anyway , removed the headliner and there is loads of condensation on the roof , when I looked at the receiver there was a wire just pushed loosely into gap between the roof skins. I am presuming this is the earth as it has a metal loop on the end to allow it to be screwed somewhere.
I undid one of the nuts holding the receiver to the roof and put the earth there , redid the bolt and presto the fob is working again!!.
hopefully this is a cure and it was the condesation freezing and breaking the contact for the earth.
