As the title states, i've recently had both my remotes die without any apparent reason. I made sure all contact points were touching and replaced the batteries on both but they still won't work.
Now I thought maybe the car isn't recognising the remotes anymore or they might need reprogramming but the red led doesn't even go on when I push any of the buttons. Anybody have a clue what the go is? Seems way too coincidental that both stopped working completely at the same time.

Very common, as above the 3 points for the battery holder always break. Next thing they do is the buttons don't contact properly. I'm too lazy to fix, so I've got 5 sitting here that I should do something with!

My unlock button stopped working. Not surprising considering the crap that came out of it when I pulled it apart.

Don't replace the remote - fix it. They are around $75 each, so a free fix is cheaper.
If buttons don't work at all (and you've replaced the battery with a new one......) 1. Pull the remote apart (lever from the indentation on the top/bottom) 2. Remote circuit board section from the rubber buttons, taking note of how the circuit board fitds INTO the rubber button holder thing. 3. Heat up soldering iron, and with the point of the iron, solder the 3 contact points from underneath (they are each a small circle). You shouldn't need any more solder; just re-melting what's there tends to work 4. Before putting it back together, test the buttons without the rubber cover 5. If it works, you're done, if not, see next heading If you do the above and buttons still don't work, or one doesn't work 1. Clean the small metal buttons with some WD40, metho or CRC (a small amount on a tissue/cloth and wipe over and around the small metal button 2. Before putting it back together, test the buttons without the rubber cover 3. If it works, you're done, if not, REPLACE (there is no thope if these steps don't work). Put remote back together and test buttons now 1. If one of the buttons doesn't work, pull remote apart. 2. Get a 0.5 to 1mm thick piece of plastic - the small packets of screws you get are bunnings are ideal (you just need the packet, not the screws) 3. Cut a piece of plastic into a rectangle with one slightly angled side to fit inside the rubber button thing 4. Might as well do all the buttons while you're there 5. Reassemble remote, and test. It should now work without having to put superman like pressure on the buttons. OK, so now I've given away ALL my secrets.................
