My key fob was working yesterday, then this morning I couldnt open my car with the key fob but the res light still flashes on the key so is not the battery. So I unlocked it with the key and pressed the button on the dash to stop the alarm and the car started so I could drive it. Then I tryes to drive it abit later and it wouldnt start kept cutting out so I dont know what to do now I need advice.

The problem could still be the battery in the fob because the light takes little voltage to work whereas the transmitter will need more to work properly. Sometimes the fob will just go out as small electronics do, do you have a spare fob? Pleas try that as well. Next, I would try to disconnect the the car battery for 2 minuets and then reconnect it, this will reset the alarm system. Please let me know what you find.

No I dont have a spare fob, the car is recongising the key when trying to programme in but is not storing the fob so I can use it. I had to get a locksmith out who was able to start my car but fob still doesnt work tried changing the battery when it happen, now I have no alarm and just use it like an old style car but would like to get it working really
