I used to know what the ends of may shoe laces are called, but I have forgotten it now in my later years.... |

Finicky things these remote key fobs .... Well, I've never had one for my car, but I do for my home alarm system, and the battery does need to be changed once in awhile. I think dust from our pockets gets in the workings, too. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

No point putting this in a car thread, we all saw what happened the last time. Lithium coin cells can last some 20-30 years under ideal conditions. But they do not retain the draw down ability after that long. In memory backup mode, they can retain the RAM on a mobo for some 20 years though. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Well I know people with 5, 7, 10 year old cars where they still work fine. The only difference I noted was that the little red light on the fob glows loads brighter now. If yours glows dull it may be a heads up. Well, perhaps your car. Mine does require an operational battery in the fob to start the car. Cars are getting smarter. Something to check is to be sure where you carry the fob isn't pressing one of its buttons all the time and draining the battery. |

Mines worse, it's a 1999, the fob unlocks doors, opens the trunk and deals with the built in alarm, but that's it.. The computer just manages the motor, heck I have hand cranked windows on the 2 car doors, but then I have a coupe, a 2yr model. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I had to have the garage door repaired. I am renting so I called a service since the landlord said he would pay for it. The repairman showed up and said that the problem was that the motor on the opener was too small. I said that it was a 1/2 horsepower motor which is pretty much standard. He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.' I told him that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two. I thanks him and fixed it myself. |
