A friend has a problem with his Laguna key fob. When he locks the car using one button he cannot then unlock it again by using the other.
I have checked and the battery is definately not flat as if you keep pressing the lock button it continues trying to lock itself. He had a spare fob which he lost which had the same problem but in reverse. Obviously now he can't lock his car but each time he does it accidentally it takes twenty minutes of button pressing to get it to work again.
I have had a quick look at the fob and it appears to be pretty flimsy. I'm thinking that it could just be a loose contact inside and that if this was the case an electronics shop should be able to repair it without too much trouble (Renault want £200 for a new one).
Anyone got any ideas?
