new key fob remote battery and flat car battery questions | |
Hi all
just a couple of questions i have searched to find the answer but not found exactly what i want
Had to jump the rangie today as battery flat think last couple of short runs the cold and possibly still an original battery on a 2004 car maybe all problems together. Checked with a voltmeter and when running it kicks out 12-14 volts and started after being stopped for about 20 mins. Not sure if it will hold so will replace the battery with a good one. not sure if its co incidence but after having to unlock the doors with the key as there was no power the remote wont lock/unlock/open the boot, the light still flashes on the fob but it doesnt work. Gonna get a new remote battery from care spares shop tomorrow will I need to reprogramme it or will it work without?
Also after re setting all the clock etc once running i have set the date and the date format in settings but when I exit this it wont show the date on the bottom left corner of the screen, even after stopping and starting a couple of times
any ideas?
thanks in advance all
PS gonna get a solar charger as we only tend to use it at weekends and they look to have good reviews for the Maplin ones
