How: Keyless remote control not working? Try this quick fix before buying a new one
Most cars made in the last ten or fifteen years can be opened with a keyless remote, and once you get used to them, unlocking your car with a traditional key becomes a pain. The most common reason they stop working is because the battery needs to be replaced, but when they are really broken, a new one can cost a fortune. So before you go and buy it, try this quick fix that worked for Redditor diggalator and it's completely free.
Basically, he disassembled the remote and removed the board, noticing that the "Lock" and "Unlock" buttons were disconnected. All it took to fix it was a few tiny drops of solder (and a soldering iron, of course), and when he put everything back together everything worked perfectly again. Talk about simple!
The best thing about this fix is that it takes less than half an hour and can save you tons of money. Also, if you have the hardware, it doesn't cost anything.
