    The unlock button has suddenly stopped working on it, i have replaced the battery but no joy. Its locking fine so it looks like the fob is acting up.
    Any ideas how to fix it or do i need a replacement? If so any idea how much these are?
    Thanks

    Micro switch or solder has snapped... Check out YouTube for fix.

    Done it on a few keys. Bought micro switch to fit and re solder into correct place.

    Never done anything like that before tbh, is it expensive to replace? If it is i might give this a go.

    Solder can be got on eBay or Amazon, same with micro switch and so on....

    I'd have to see board.
