Central Locking Remote Repair

[MacGuyver]

Hey, does anyone know of a place in Perth where I can get my central locking remote looked at? It doesn't work anymore! And yes, I have changed the battery! My car is a S1 1994 GTST.

Mines all broken and is being held together by tape haha ..... guess just take it back to where it was done. Any alarm place should be able to do it.

The remote was the original one that came with the car; I've taken it to Action Alarms in Osborne Park and the guy said he would need a working one first to be able to fix my stuffed one.

That does sound quite right to me, I wonder what system it is?

Sorry I'm the guy fixing remotes and I have looked at and fixed a lot of remotes, which we have never even sold even down to original remotes from manufacturers like Ford, Holden, Mitsubishi you name it I fixed them. But yes, sometimes I need to get an old remote working before I can come up with a new one, simply because I need to get to know what the old thing is doing. However in some cases repair is the only way, as we don't have every single remote control available as a new version. So if you would like to try me again, give me a call on 9242 4000 with your remote control in hand so that you can give me a gescription of it, that's just in case you don't know what brand it is. Even better, send me a digital picture and hopefully I'll be able to identify it from there.

Let's try again, shall we?

Cheers,

Hey thanks for the reply MaxAction! I'm not sure if you remember me but I came to see you last Friday and we discussed taking apart my remote to have a look at it. Well I've been able to take it apart with out smashing it to bits, so I'll drop by sometime soon if that's alright by you.

Howdy, now that I have got the remote, as promised I'll try my best. I started to work on it today, but so far no luck. I cleaned up what your father tried to fix, but that wasn't it either. So I will give it another go tomorrow. As I said, in this case, seeing it is your only remote, I will only charge if I actually get it going.

I did fix the 2 Mitsubishi Remotes today and also the old guys Nissan remote. but yours is more of a challenge.

Well, I give you a call when I have something more positive to report.

Cheers,

Norbert

Howdy,

it is all good news for your remote, it is happening again, working away.

Man you are lucky, but call me brilliant if you must ;-)

Give me a call on 9242 4000 for a time to pick it up and test it against the car.

Cheers,

Norbert

Max,

You work for Action Alarms? I've got one remote that is being held together with good ol nitto tape - the other remote for my car disintergrated quite some time ago. Having one working remote ..... and being close to work ..... is this something that could be programmed within a lunchbreak? Or would I have to leave my car with you as well?

Hi Nizmo,

Usually we do those while you wait.

I'd suggest though. when you come down, please bring all the parts you may have of the two remotes and I will see if there is anything we could recover/repair for you. Quite often the old electronic can be repaired. Combine that with a new and you finish up with a pretty good looking and working remote for less than a new unit.

Max did a fantastic job in fixing my factory remote, I highly recommend his work. I was really lucky by the sounds of things! Just a piece of advice for all Skyline owners: look after your factory remotes! You only get one!
