I'm a bit stuck with this one, and just wondering if anyone on here can help.
What happened was, kids dropped my car keys and alarm fob into the sink. And the water got inside the fob due to it being cracked already.
Anyhow, I opened it to dry it out.
A day or two after, I went out to the car and opened the door via the key. Put the key in the ignition and no power at all. No dash lights nothing.
Anyway, got a garage who live nearby and are related to my g/f and he said the battery was completely flat. Put it on charge, charged it up to 100% and the next morning, checked the battery and it had dropped to 85% and testing said it was knackered.
So we order a new one. That's arrived, fitted it. And the alarm went off, after a while it stopped.
Tried starting the car, but it refuses to start up, although all power / dash lights / radio etc are now working.
The key fob is still playing up and not doing much, although when I did press the lock button pretty hard, the doors did lock, but the unlock button still doesn't work.
Whenever I open the car doors using the key, the alarm goes off, and i still can't start the engine.
Can anyone help with this please?
