Fob doesnt work

[charles_vtr]

Hi guys, my central locking fob hasnt worked for a while now and I think its the battery clips that have snapped and no longer holding the battery down. Anyway is there a way of programming a new fob or is it a citroen dealer job because its fucking annoying using the key to open and lock the car aha.
Cheers

you can grab a fob case replacment on ebay for £3, if your microswitches are ok on the fob circuit board its easy enough to do, it all jus pops out and clips back in, i did mine a few weeks ago.

my fob now works a treat, also, if you replace the battery you might have to unlock it and lock it a few times for the fob to work then it will work normally after that.

You can ether have a go at buying a new housing for it on eBay and see if that fixes your issue. (You will need to swap over the circuit board inside the housing)...

Or the better option is probably to fit a Hawk kit, most people on here have fitted them (including me). There is a guide on here for wiring it up, it's pretty easy.

It's £19.99 with free delivery, and the added bonus of your indicators flashing on lock/unlock.

I replaced the battery about 2 months ago and no luck, thanks for the link might do that...

...or might have to go with a hawk kit, and yes I want my indicators to flash aha like ive said before. It does add a little extra security/peace of mind.

Thanks both of you though!
