Today I took my remote key fob (single button Sigma M30 on 06 UK 2.0NA)
apart since the button felt sticky. I then sprayed the switch/button inside with electrical contacts spray, then let it dry, and put everything back together. Tried it and it was "clicking" cleanly! It worked unlocking and locking the car at the slightest click. I was well happy with it. I took a nap and after 2 hours I decided to wash the car. To my horror the remote wouldn't unlock the car anymore. After several unsuccessful attempts, I dug out the spare and it worked straight away. I swapped batteries but the one I "cleaned" just didnt work anymore. Have I broken it completely? I checked all solder points are ok and it has a new Panasonic battery. I tried re-programming it to the car but when I got to the stage when you press the fob button, it didn't make a beep orthe LED didn't flash at all.
Whew! Any help appreciated!
Thanks
