207 1.6 hdi remote battery flat

[iamvinh]

Hello, please can someone help?

When I turn the key in ignition, the warning display states that the "remote battery flat", I've replaced the 'remote battery' and it's still gives the warning?!

What do I do?

Thanks

i had a battery draining issiuse with mine , evern thow the buttons pressed/clicked , my fob battery was dead following day,one was sticking very easy to test via muiltmetre ,
remove curcit board from inside ,
get a muiltimeter on diode check
, one wire on each of the 2 terminals (can upload a pic if needed)

, and shouldnt show anything until u press a button ,will then show a resistance , try this which each button,,,,if u get a valve show with no buttons pressed then one is usely buggard
,
once replaced i replaced code (thanks to betty) changed battery been fine for a few days now

it wont be anything to do with this theard im affraid , sounds more of a faulty lcd disply , depending how carefull you are firstly check no rear mounting screws/fixing/contections, ive come lose causeing bad contacts on the rear of the disply panel,
if not you 2 choices , buy another,(local autobreakers)and replace it.
or strip it carefully and genterly wipe the curcit board contacts with achol based purfum (clean board only , not the rubber strip which makes a contact threw it) once wiped and its clean wait a few mins for the achol based liquid to dispurses then rebuild and try it worked on mine ,(as mine was faulty more in a morning when my car was cold .once warmed it slightly improved
do this at ur own risk, ps this works well on tv remotes as well
