Intend to drive until scrap if it doesnt give major problems. Whats one way alarm? I installed a cheapo alarm many years ago and even that cost 150 if I could recall. Actually the remote controls served me well until earlier today. I changed batt but it didnt help. So I changed to the spare remote....also konked. Maybe too long never use.

Nhrisuzu 1st Gear June 26, 2009 Share June 26, 2009 1 way alarm is those alarm like ur stock alarm.. 2 way alarm is those that will give feedback via ur remote and tell u something wrong with ur car.. 1 way can give "instructions" to car but car cannot give back.. anyway, if never use appliance for very long, best is to remove the battery.. i got no spare "spare" remote cos me and mom both holding on to 1 remote..

Sosaria Turbocharged June 26, 2009 Share June 26, 2009 hi bros, Both my remote control units konked already. Whats the cheapest way to get replacements? My ride is Sunny N16 FL. thanks This remote is lousy compared to those that came with earlier model Sunny non-FL version. I got this remote as well with my current sunny in 2005... still working! Basically, it tends to quit when dropped... Did you drop your remote recently on a hard surface? What I found is that the battery contacts are badly designed... no 'springiness' at all. You need some spring action there to hold the battery tight and ensure good contact. I bent the contacts slightly, as much as possible without snapping them, before slotting in a new battery... have you tried?? Lastly, before you condemn the remote... pls check the voltage of the battery you bought 'new'... is it 12 volts? Don't assume it is... I had this experience whereby supposedly 'new' 12V battery bought from shop was only putting out 9V or so... Yup, try all the above first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneStock 5th Gear June 27, 2009 Author Share June 27, 2009 thats right! exactly what I did this morning. Borrowed a multimeter and the new batt was only 7v! at least the old batt gave 10v. The batt contact for one of the remotes wasnt very good and I tried bending it with a plier. It came off w/o any effort...lousy solder joint Had to solder it back again and it was ok. Anyway, the batt I bought is energizer...never thought it could be so lousy. Went to a hw shop and bought a GP...this time I inserted into the remote on the spot. Both worked perfectly. At least can save some $$$ during this difficult times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
