Not probably right.
You cannot get a new FOB just like that, you have to have the code set for the BECM and they are programmed at the manufacturer HUFF in Germany. as your BECM has been changed, there will be no correct record from which to code the FOB.

Put that stick down and pick up the other end....I meant probably right about the Mitsu.:)

I know you are right about the codes etc which is exactly why Im thinking of changing every part...Becm..ECU..drivers door handle ignition lock if need be and anything else to get it running tomorrow.

I can have somebody come up here with diagnostics if need but cant see why it wont run right off.....these parts are coming from a running car so why will they not work being put on mine?
Is there a memory that will be lost when they are unplugged or what?

Thanks

Have it your way, you obviously have much more experience than anyone on here on P38 electronics
Door lock is not relevant, your existing blade fits it, if you also change the engine ECU and it's petrol all the trims will be wrong.

Feck me, you do not listen do you YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS TO SYNC A REPLACEMENT BECM TO THE ENGINE ECU:rolleyes:

I do listen but it seems some people arent quite grasping what the problem is. IF it needs a resync I have a syncmate that will do that...

So....spent another few hours messing with this car today...nothing seemed to work.
I then decided to cut the fob in half and see if there was anything obvious in there. There was a poor joint on the battery bridge. Sorted that out and the remote is alive and so is the car,
Thanks for the advice everybody and a big thanks to Mozz.!!

Yes you did and I did that but the part that was causing the problem wasnt visible without cutting open the fob.. The failure point is exactly where is indicated.....nothing to see when fob is intact.
Will have a go at the other fob in case its the same problem.
Thanks for your help and advice.
