Key-Fob or Ignition issue

Zack · Post by **Zack** » Tue May 07, 2013 10:09 am

I had a key that stopped unlocking and locking the car. Luckily I had a spare. Problem is, now the spare is not working correctly and is having issues with locking and unlocking. I am wondering if it is a problem with the ignition.

Could be a tired battery in the fob.....

That's what I think but you can't replace the batteries in these keys.

I replaced the battery in one of mine but I have a 2003 Justa.

My sister's 05 MCS was experiencing this same problem after we changed the car battery last year....took it to Baron when we were there for shop day.They reprogrammed the car and got one key to work as a remote. They quoted us $165.00 for one key, let's just say the one that they said was done for is now the spare key. I am glad that they got one key to work as an remote!

It would appear those reset instructions worked.

Both key fobs finally bit the dust. I have a new key on order.
