Key fob not opening doors or turning off alarm, wont start! | |
I have read through the many pages of issues with vehicles not starting and AS10 issues. However I am unsure if I have this issue or I have cocked up when replacing the Fob battery?
The issue I had was I could not open the central locking with the fob one day, so opened the door with the key and promptly set the alarm off when I opened the door. Couldn't get the vehicle started as I think the immobilizer was still active. I assumed this was a problem with the battery in the key fob, so started using the spare fob with no issues. I changed the battery in the duf fob but kept using the spare instead.
No issues until I returned from a 2 week holiday, started ok and drove 45mins to a shoot I was on. Stopped for the first drive and then key fob wouldn't open the vehicle, same as before used the key to open the doors and then alarm activated when I entered and vehicle wouldn't start. After 5-10mins of alarm going on and off and me pushing the unlock button on the fob the vehicle eventually started, all the time being ridiculed by the Japanese pick-up brigade. For the rest of the day I didn't lock the truck, but before starting I did need to push the unlock button once (to reset immobilizer I assume?) but it started no problem every time.
Anyone any idea what's going on? Is the battery on the spare fob now also on its way out? Should I replace the battery and see what happens or am I likely to have a problem with the as10 unit? I am not technically minded so any help much appreciated but please keep it in simple terms thanks
vehicle is a 2011 110 double cab pick-up with 38k miles if that is relevant.
