D2 key issues

Linc-tom · Mar 9, 2019

Hi all,
Im Tom, based in Lincoln, boyhood dream to own a landrover, and now I have a D2.
However this is a problem with the alarm, whereas i need to touch the lock barrel on the door with the key for the buttons to work, and even then it is intermittent. has anyone come across this before?

thanks in advance
Tom

May help you out.
But in advance have you replaced the battery in the key?

Cheers

Yes, I have read, i changed the battery straight off. I have looked at the receiver module, Part YWY 000080, seems ok, no corrosion on the earthing bolt, but will clean it off before re-fitting anyway. do you know if the alarm will go off if i unplug the unit?

Thanks
Tom

When I diconnected mine , after unlocking the car it was fine. Whenever I mess with the alarm, I make sure windows , drivers door are open , just paranoid about somehow locking myself out...LOL.
I recomend getting yourself a spare key and the EKA code as well.

They were JCB ones.

Also, just had the module out, cleaned the contact and the bolt, with wire wool. And reinstalled it all.
And now its worse. so I have ordered a new reciever module, and if that doesnt work, replace the wires up to it.
Does anyone know where the other end of the wires go to?

If you have sunroofs and you found sign of damp, you can try leaving the module on a radiator to dry it out nd see if that helps.

Cheers
