KEYLESS NOT WORK

[Simone]

Hi everyone, here I am again with a problem :-(
My remote control, which is also the keyless entry system, isn't working properly.
Or rather, it takes a very long time to recognize the key, so I always end up opening the door manually.
To start the car, I place the key in front of the ignition.
The batteries are new.
I've tried both remote controls.
Where are the control units located so I can try to clean them?

Same issue here.

Same issue here.

I thought I was the only one...

Mine started recently but is getting worse and worse.

If I find where the control unit is, I'll try to disconnect it and clean it.

I don't know what to do.

Rain. Check the connectors.

Thanks,

What connectors are you referring to? Key amplifier control unit?

So as not to have to dismantle everything

Okay, thank you.
I haven't checked the transponder key yet because I didn't realize it was the ignition button.
I'll soak it in the deoxidizing liquid.
I don't think there's any water infiltration...
I hope it's the button because the other control units are difficult to reach.
Thank you.

I am sorry, I didn’t realize how hard it is ti find threads about the water issue. Here is one that should help’; Wet carpets, electrical issues... - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/wet-carpets-electrical-issues.1345697/ This is easy to look into. Removing the panels to have a look is pretty easy.
