2010 volvo xc60 key fob

Post by conversesmith0601 »

If my key fob is only intermittently working and i already replaced the battery, is there any way to repair it with altering the transmitter in any way? or do i absolutely need to buy a new one and get it programmed?

Thanks!

You could try cleaning the back sides of the buttons with IPA Alcohol (Isopropyl or Isopropanol), replacing the buttons or moving the electronics to a new case.

Hi all. I have a 2013 XC60. The key fob will only lock and unlock the front doors. I can hear the actuators in rear doors clicking in response to fob button press, but the doors won't lock/unlock. I've tried inserting the metal key in door handle and locking/unlocking manually three times, and I've tried locking/unlocking with the switch on driver's door while driving. Those steps have sometimes worked in the past , but not now. I recently replaced the fob battery. Any suggestions on what to try next? Thanks.

Common Problem. The majority of the actuators have a cheap inexpensive DC motor inside a fancy mechanism on most make and models. Not sure why the industry does not put something in more reliable $?
