Went to disarm the trucks alarm so i could go get the wife from work & the remote was DEAD.
AAARRHhhhhh had to disable the alarm while it screaming in my ears/ went to get her & THEN got to work finding out what the problems was.
Have seen prices of over $80 for that remote ^%%$#$# that
NOT forking out over $400 for another suitable alarm system 5$##@ not joking.

In the end . it took about 30 seconds to dismantle the remote (had to find THAT screwdriver) / 30 seconds of battery testing & another 30 seconds to DO the actual repair. Whewww ;-).

& it was . what!

The effervescence had decoupled from the primary shunt, leaving the induced field below optimum force.

Fractured leg on a voltage regulator

Must have been busted but JUST touching for a long while because it responds faster now (everytime)

SOOo oooo happy to have fixed that.
Really didn't need that sort of a dent in the wallet at this or any time of the year.
