2 button key fob for disco

[achampagne]

OK feeling kinda stupid here! I have followed the manual and I have replaced the battery with the correct brand size. But I still can"t get the key fob to lock/unlock my rover. Not a big deal of course but I would like it to work! any feedback from people with similar problems?

Are your actuators functioning, ie: can you lock the truck from the dash rocker?

 

[achampagne]

The rest of the truck works fine, its just the fob

Have you had it programmed at the dealer?

 

[achampagne]

No, the nearest dealer is 2 hrs away.

did you press the button with the battery out?

if so you can re set it using the key turning settings Im pretty sure, you need the code 2 turns rear one front one rear etc,

infact just try pressing the open button a few times.

Sure did, pressed both just to be sure it was drained. I have bigger problems now, my drivers side window popped the geared piece off today when I put the window up. :Wow1:

Hoping you still have the owner's manual, it is noted in there. If I recall correctly, after replacing the battery, you need to press the unlock side four times to get the car to pick up the code again and open the doors.

Yeah I still have the manual, and did every step noted.

Today I tried it all again by locking and waiting for the dash light to flash slow, then unlocked the door, centered the key in the lock and hit the button 4 times. The alarm then chirped twice, and then nothing happened since then, I am so confused why something so simple is not working.
