Remote/keyless entry
Advice please, remote fob won't lock or unlock car, replaced battery still no joy. Thought it may be a faulty receiver (on top of instrumant cluster) so bought s/h unit with fob on fleabay, supposed to be working when removed, still noy joy.
Does receiver have to be programmed to car? Next step is to see if the receiver is sending any voltage to central lockong control unit...once I can find it Any help appreciated

Remote Fob
I think that 1998 on cars need the FOB coded to the car. I bought a spare for mine and it needs coding (although the local dealer is unsure if they can do this on such an "old" car!).

This is a link to a company on ebay that will do fob repairs or supply the parts:~ https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...key+fob+repair
My two repairs are still fine ('97 V70) it may be worth looking at this first. Bob. |

Thanks Bob, goint to send them my fob, I've no way of telling if it works or not, have emailed a couple of fairly local auto locksmiths to see if they can reprogram the fobs, key in drivers door will operate central locking but no way of setting alarm without the fob
Thanks guys

Worth a look on your original fob. Both switches could be dodgy. |

All dealers are required to have the tools required to do the keys on all models .... It's part of the franchise agreement .. they are fobbing you off ..

Intend to go back but, at the moment my priority is getting the A/C fixed just in case there is another warm day this year.

Has anyone 'successfully' achieved replacement working remote fobs for late 98-99 on cars? As far as I can make out...
There's outfits that simply charge £35 for a repair service to swap lumps of plastic, you'll see the parts they use on eBlag for £5-6. (You can do this yourself in under 3 minutes). But: 1. Who do we go to to get an additional mechanical key? 2. Who do we go to to get an additional working 'chipped' remote fob?
