Mea Culpa

[RET2]

Well with all of the threads about issues caused by water I thought it funny, interesting and soul cleansing to admit the following adventure. I left my key fob in my pants and neglected to remove it before religating the pants to be washed, of course I discovered this when I went to start my 200 the next morning. I also wondered why the dryer was sounding like it was on it's last lap, panic sets in and I find the fob in the dryer none the worse for wear and fully operable. So in short My fob was washed for a 50 minute cycle and dried and still functions as designed. Think I need to buy a lottery ticket.

Well done sir!

And it wasn't even set to delicate!

Something similar happened to me, but it was my original 1997 key fob, left it in my short pocket about 6 months ago, put on my wetsuit, went out into the surf for about an hour. Realized when I came back in. Took it out blew it dry the best I could, set in the sun to dry for about an hour, and unlocked perfectly. Got home and cleaned with a swab and isopropyl alcohol, all good still.
