Key Fob

Hi Guys,
Seems I got my key fob immersed in water, anyway long story short it ain't working.
I have removed the battery dried it out and it is still not working. (Wondering if I have frazzled it)
Any suggestions to get the fob working again?
Also, what's the cost of a new fob?

Thanks for any help.
Regards
Bobby

Did you actually replace the battery? Dry the fob, opened up to expose electronics, in a sealed bag with some dry rice in it for a day or two, then try with a new battery.

No idea of replacement fob price, but suspect not cheap as it will have to be recoded.

Thanks for that Gel, anyone used these guys for fob repairs?

Thanks for reply Hound, did not dry with rice just took it apart, I did replace battery though.
Think I will try the rice before proceeding with costly repair me thinks.

Take the battery out and use a hairdryer on low setting to dry the internals. Worth a try.
