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!
