1998 S70 Alarm Remote do not work

Post by aong »

My alarm remotes are not working. I tested the alarm by locking the door with the key. The red light was flashing and it sounded when I opened the door. Yet, the remotes do not see to work. I think the programming for the remotes were screwed up for some reasons. Is there a way to re-program the remotes?

How are the batteries on the remotes?

The user can not alter the programming on the S70 remotes, only the dealer has the software for that. If the batteries are fine then your only option is to go to the dealer. Tell them they suddenly stopped working, maybe they will fix them (or at least check it out) without charging you a hundred bucks ... :(
