Great thread!

I have a 2005 ZS 1.8. As my car had only 1 keyfob, I got a 2nd keyfob for my vehicle in 2012 supplied and programmed by an auto locksmith. All has been working fine until a week ago when I opened the car with the 2nd fob OK. However, beyond that the same fob will not start or lock the car.

The original fob continues to work OK.

I called the auto locksmith to look at the 2nd fob and he told me that the fob is transmitting OK but it will not re-programme as the system says it is 'failed'. He had a new fob with a new barcode to try and again it displayed 'failed'. He tells me he's not seen this before where the vehicle only accepts 1 fob. He suspects the Pektron unit may have a glitch? All other areas are working fine i.e. horn/windows/wipers etc.

I'm nervous running the car with 1 fob. Any ideas on this?

Thanks

Hi

Can anybody tell me what this chip is that i have circled in red??

It is missing on my board

It is the very small one directly above the Fog horn relay with a number on it.

mg stress then relief

Ok had a go at replacing 2 relays in the scu today. Stressed because the scu is sooo important and did not want to do it wrong.

Car unlocked, turned engine over. Battery disconnected.

I undid both sides of the centre console. I undid both sides of the bracket holding the scu. Longer to do but easier to remove the unit.

Marked the connectors ( did not need to as they are all different sizes)
Pushed in tabs on the connectors to pull them free. Not stressed yet.

Scu out. Gentle prising with a small slotted screw driver to remove the base part of the scu box.

Earthed myself against a radiator pipe.

45watt soldering iron de soldered the legs of a relay.
I couldn't find a pic of the circuit board upside down. I eyed up which pads to de solder. The tip on my soldering iron was a little dirty. It did not do a great job. Relay not budging.
Very stressed. Time for a cuppa.
A new tip and solder sucker later, job desoldered. However the relay would still not come out. I very gently rocked the relay away from the pads that had no solder still in them. The final pads i used another iron with a pointed tip to push the legs through.

This took ages to remove one relay.
Relief. I soldered the new one in, in about 5 minutes.

All connected and I have a working drivers window. 3 years without it.

Technozen. supplied the bits and info needed. Many, many thanks.
