Best Answer

Open it, remove the battery and place the car remote in a bag with Silica Gel to dry it out completely.

Replace the battery with a NEW one and put it all back together.

Next you'll need to read the owners manual for instructions on "pairing" the remote to the car. They'll use a different term so you'll just have to look up the remote.

Typically the little door lock remotes are quite robust and can tolerate a little water but they won't operate when wet and won't operate if there is a residue left behind.

Alarm remote stopped working. central locking working via the key only and car immobilised. Battery replaced in remote same problem. Volkswagen Golf VR6 1997. Please help. Scorpian 5000 system.?

I just had the same problem. I've never had this happen before and had the car years. the battery went completely flat so charged it overnight and then the remote wouldn't work. Found a website today which got the remote to work, the engine turns over but then the immobilizer kicks in. Reactivated the remote by disconnecting the negative on the battery for 20 mins, then turn the ignition key onto the positon before it starts and reconnect the battery - not sure if this has damaged the immobilisor though. Trying to solve that problem now.

How do you build a robot without buying any parts?

Ha! Glad you asked. It is all simple: get your computer, download the program BioBotics. Now you will need a RC car and a Xbox 360 remote. Turn on your Rc car and your xbox remote. BioBotics should pick up the frequencies and hack them. Now you can control the RC car with only a computer and a gaming controller!

How do you program doors remote transmitter for a sxv20 Camry Toyota?

To program the remote for a MCV20 / SXV20 camry you need the master programmed key (it's the black one you would have gotten originally with the car. you place the key in the ignition with the headlights off and the interior light off turn the car from "off" to "on" 3 or 5 times rapidly (but do not start the car). the dash security light will come on and stay on. this means the car is in program mode. you then simply press the remote button and your new remote is now programmed. additional: your old remote will not work unless you programme it at the same time as the new one.
