JT93es300 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi all, I recently picked up a 1993 es300. The car runs great, looks great and feels great. I love it. However, the keyless entry system is giving me trouble. After a series of trial and error scenarios, I've come to find out that the remote entry works fine, its the key that is draining the battery (the small 1216) almost immediately after installing it. Has anyone ever heard of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM1995ES Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I had the same problem with my 1995 key recently - new battery (only the third one needed in 13+ years) drained quickly. Turned out that guck had worked its way past the key button and was essentially shorting out the switch. Carefully cleaning the insides around the switch area using one of those little electric shaver brushes, dry at first and then dipped in alcohol, did the trick.

The1 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 How do you know if its your key or something in the car because my alarm itself works but the button on the key doesnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
