More key fob info.

My key fob started gradually failing. I pulled it apart, took out the switching unit from the plastic case and pulled off the rubber facing. I took a close look at the two black rubber dots on the under side of the rubber facing that press down on the circuit board and noticed they had become very slightly grooved or stained (couldn't tell which, but I could see lines that corresponded to the surface of the circuit board). I took the end of a screwdriver and gently scraped the surface of both dots clean and cleaned the scraping dust out of the surrounding facing. Then I reassembled it.

It took about 5 minutes (after 30 minutes of experimenting with other things) and its working fine.

Hope this helps some of you save some bucks.

Best regards,

George SSSS
