So - I've been struggling with this for a while:
Stand and press the button on the keyfob while standing a few inches from the car near either driver or passenger door.
I get a 1 in 5 best success rate. Sometimes it just won't play ball - lock or unlock.
Other keyfob is the same. Have changes batteries.
Today - I made a discovery (nice pun..) and if I hold the fob in the middle of windscreen (outside) pointing down at the windscreen air vent it works 100% of the time!!
Looking at the very centre of the airvent just in front of the glass (inside) there is a little hole that looks as though it should have sensor in it. I can imaging a little dome shaped thing that should be there?
Has my sensor fallen down inside the vent? (assuming this is where it lives??)
I fiddled about under the dash both sides and behind the stereo but there is no access in there so before I go further, am I looking for something that should be there? Or in completely the wrong area - I had a surf for pics of the dash there but it's inconclusive.
If so, any ideas of retrieving it without taking the whole dash out??
ideas welcome...
