My fob used to work 2-3 feet away from the rear of the vehicle, now it only works when i hold it over the bonnnet (hood) near the windscreen.

I have channged the battries in both fobs, did nothing.

Is the an ariel/receiver on the car that might be damaged ?

 

I'm haveing the same issue...

 

Hi fellas,

Check your cars as stated in this bulletin, I have run into a number of these way passed the 2003 cars listed, clear up to 2006's. Something happens to the receiver in the door module.

Cheers,

 

just read it, mine opens the car, i just have to be realy close and most times hold it as above post.

 

It's been suggested a cause is car battery volts getting low.

 

Agreed. Just think of all the electronic problems a failing battery is known to cause in these cars. First things first - check all of your battery cells to ensure that they are properly filled with water. If not, fill them up. Is this your only electronic issue right now?

 

yes, i have no other problems, car starts first time every time in less than half a second. (touch wood) No other electrical problems but the fob.
