Key Fob Won't Work 850

posted by  someone claiming to be The Elder Lemon on  Thu May 30 11:20 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Please again
My fob has being acting up for past week or two. I put new batterys in both fobs, but doors do not always lock/unlock, even with fob up against windscreen. Then at other times, it work from 4 or 5 meters away. Any ideas or remedys would come down a treat.
Thanks you all for your help before this, and in the future.

    Key Fob Won't Work 850

    I have the rectangular remote with the larger squareish LOCK and smaller rectangular UNLOCK for my 97 850.

    I have noticed that if I hold it, keys hanging down, buttons facing me and the back of the fob facing the driver's (or passenger's) door it seems to work better.

    I have also noticed that slower, longer pushes on the buttons seem to work better sometimes and quick stabs at the buttons seem to work better other times. No idea why it seems to be such a finicky system.

    As a side note, my neighbor can stand in the back yard and unlock their new Toyota RAV4 parked out on the street.
