Default Key question

Managed to sort central locking not working.. using the key in the lock it works fine, as does the button on drivers switch pack, however i csn not get it to work remotely despite new battery. I can unlock manually and drive car. Is it worth buying a circuit board part of the key? Ive tried the key in ignition five times reset but no luck 😔.. everything else works on thr car... had key apart and ckeaned with contact cleaner ... at a loss what to do next?

Could be RF interference. I have a wireless alarm for my water softener salt contents. When it is transmitting (low salt) the car remote does not work!

Does your other key work? If so, then I think you can rightly surmise that this key is defective. Depending on the exact fault, board level repair might be possible by someone with the appropriate skills but more likely a new key would be the easiest (and possibly cheaper) route. Unfortunately 'cheaper' is relative; they aren't inexpensive to buy and they can only be coded by a Volvo franchised dealer.

You can't just take the internals from a second hand key.

I had a problem with my keys a couple of years ago

Turned out to be the battery wasn't making a good enough contact inside the fob. (both keys!!)

I put a bit of foam in, to press it harder against the contact, and both keys have worked fine ever since.

Cheers

Dave

Whereabouts are you? I’ve got equipment which will determine if your key is transmitting a signal so you can narrow down the fault. You’d need to get to me (in a socially distanced way) in Longridge, assuming it’s Preston, Lancs you’re from?
