DEANO3528 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Have had a good look at the various posts but can't see my specific issue. So what happens? Okay, up until last week all has been fine, everything doing like it should. The vehicle stood for a couple of days and the battery was a little down so I stuck the charger on it. Now I locjk the vehicle and everything works as it should by key or fob. However, when I unlock I have to press the fob twice and I have lost the single indicator flash. The led flashes really fast for maybe 20-30 secs but the vehicle will start okay. Not a biggie I know but I know it's obviously not right.

DEANO3528 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 One other thing I checked is the voltage of the fob battery which is showing as 3v. That's right according to spec I know, but aren't they usually higher reading than that? That might explain why the fob won't unlock it first time, although you'd think the fob would have more power on the first push than the second??? Grasping at straws a bit I reckon...

teabag Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 The indicator not flashing is a sign of low battery power as stated in the owners handbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yep low battery warning - replace it and see if it sorts it out. CR2032 battery is what you need if its a two button alarm, if its a one button alarm its two CR2016 batteries stuck together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Aha! Nice one Teabag. Don't have a manual for that model only 200. Cheers Steve, it's a two button fob, I'll bung a new battery in it then. For the price it's a worthy place to start anyway. Will update when i get one.

DEANO3528 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just to clear this one, changed the battery in the fob and it's back to normal thank you. One other thing I noticed is the fat that one of the strange non-flashings that occured was due to the bonnet not being fastened when I had the battery charger plugged in.
