Central locking fob

[Anonymous]

I have to press the button on my fob about 4-5 times to open the car at the moment, does this mean the battery is going?

IMO range of operation is a better judge of battery strength.

ok well it doesn't work when i'm any further than a meter away, which also I would have thought suggests it's near dead.

I had a similar problem with mine and it was a dry joint on the conector, just went over it with a soildering iron all fine now.

Could be either dry joint, new battery required (recommended changed yearly).

Dry joint? Is that in the fob?

Does anyone know what batteries they take off the top of their head?
