Hey folks. I have had it a day and think I have broken it already. The keyfob now no longer opens or locks the doors. When I open it with the key and open the passenger door the alarm goes off and doesn't shut up till I put the key in the ignition. I am assuming the alarm is not disarming. Any idea's what I can check. The fob seems to be ok as it still opens the boot once it is unlocked. Can't believe I have managed to break it already. Gutted.

I now know why it is not working. Just took my key to bits. The surface switches are broken basically. Just tried some PCB cleaner to try and free it up. Not working. Anyone know where I can get a perhaps another broken keyfob to get 2 pressure switches to fix this? Don't want to go down the route of paying for a new one if that is all it is unless I absolutely have to.

Just an update for you guys. I have now solved the problem with the alarm. When I looked at the switches 2 of them were ceased. So just swapped them over for the 2 that weren't. Hey presto. The car unlocks remotely and locks remotely. And now when I unlock the car and open the passenger door the alarm no longer goes off. Wooohooo. I suppose this can go down as a possible issue if anyone comes across this again.
