Hi everyone!On my 1995 XJS convertible the button on the key fob has broken off inside the latch, see attached picture. I can't find a complete key fob transmitter anywhere as a replacement part or they are much too expensive. Actually, I only need the button and the latch, since the key fob still works. Does anyone have an identical, unused key fob that I can buy? Has someone already produced this part using 3D printing? I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.
Cheers
Andreas

 

I might have a complete fob in my spares bin.
PM me if interested.
Include your complete mailing information and phone number.

@equiprx Do you happen to have a power steering reservoir for the six cylinder cars? CAC6853

 

Nope, sorry.
I should have ripped out the entire braking system.
Not enough time when I had it.
Also parts were disappearing fast, in a secure lockup.

 

I shipped a tiny package to the UK a couple of weeks ago and it cost about $60.
Shipping international is taking a big hit due to the current administration.
I think you might want to wait until we can dump him.
If you can generate a prepaid label from there I am happy to send it.
Regards,
Steve

 

word of caution, the US and UK use different radio frequencies for the fobs.

 

What is the frequency stamped into the back of the case?
The US was either 318 or 518Mhz, I forget.

 

Frequencies were 318, 418 & 433 mhz depending on country market.

dont look at me, i only have a drawer full of key fobs, hood ornaments and boxes in the garage of crap i salvaged from the yards when I happened to see something. And I still end up not having what I need for my project.

maybe this person can help? I realise you have broken plastic, but he may have some bits, maybe?

early '91ish UK was 418 Mhz then when to 433Mhz around "93. US is 318Mhz. Somewhere on the forum a guy bought the cheap China replacement fobs on Ebay and said they work great.

 

Dear Greg,
thank you for the tip. Unfortunately, they can't help.

I�ve had this problem before. I carefully glued the thin little part back together using an excellent 3m glue. It�s a two part epoxy. Seems to work better than other epoxies I�ve used for other repairs. I am out of the country for another week, so I cannot get a part number right now.

The part doesn�t look pretty, but it�s hidden by the button, so who cares.

If anyone has any recommendations I wouldn�t normally come across for Sydney, Australia, I�m all ears

 

Wait.... I believe he needs just the case, frequency doesn't matter.
