Keyfob Switch

[StreetDragster]

Hi All,

The little switch in the keyfob for my alarm has failed, its broken in the 'locked' position. Has anyone traced a replacement switch or any ideas on where i can find one.

Granted i expect i could get a replacement fob or newer style one from somewhere but i expect the cost whould be quite high compared to just replacing a sub 50p part?

Thanks

Give Carl a bell, he should be able to help.

If you take the fob apart - you can repair them if yous has the same fault as mine had (which it sounds like you do).
Its a very fiddly job to do but easier if you have small fingers.

There is bent piece of metal which acts as a spring to spring the button back. Bend it back into shape and your laughing.

I did mine about 2 months ago and still going well although long term, I can't vouch how long it will stay working for. Fingers crossed.

Carl Baker does a great key conversion, well covered on his website and also a boot release fob, I've recently had it done, highly recommended!
