Hello,
Hopefully a quick question. Can the battery be left out of a single button remote without affecting its use later? The inside of the little switch under the rubber button on my remote seems to have turned to jelly and the remote red light is now permanently on. I can operate the Ex by removing the remote battery and then replacing, but would rather leave the battery out when not using it? Any suggestions? Searched the forum and seems that even if I can possibly get a new remote, programming is a nightmare. Would prefer in the end to do away completely with the remote and the immobilisor if I am going to have problems, but cannot find how to disconnect this and get back to using a good old-fashioned key for opening the doors and starting the Ex.
Hope everybody survived the snow - the Ex really came top of the list down here in the remote parts of Cornwall - we had quite a wallop of snow - incredibly rare for us.
Regards,
Richard
