Remote Central Locking

Volvo V70 T5 1998

Remote locking/alarming thingy not working as well as it did, have to get
pretty close and doesn't always work straight away. Tried a new battery but
no real improvement.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

When the remote for my wife's Honda acted up and then died, I traced the
problem to a broken switch under the button. Fortunately, the dealer was
able to cannibalize a switch from another defunct control, for much less
than buying and programming a new remote.

 

Try stripping the blipper and cleaning the contacts?

 

Hi, I recently bought a W reg T5 every now and then the lock or
unlock refuses to work, tried the battery, no difference, cleaned the
battery contacts and increased the tension of the contacts, been O.K.
since.
