P38 Key Fobs

Paul Coddington · Jan 26, 2021

Afternoon All, does anyone have any contact details for someone who could repair a key fob for a P38 please. The open function button is requiring a lot of pressure to operate.
Thanks in advance

Can buy a replacement fob (or just the buttons) on ebay for cheap cheap!

Hi it's not the surface button that's the problem, unfortunately, I've got a couple of those. It's the one on the circuit board. Need to press on it hard for anything to happen. Thanks for replying though.

I bet you can fix it by putting a thin bit of plastic (or something like that) between the switch and the button, ??

I've gone as far as removing the flexible plastic buttons and pressing it with an probe.. no difference it's looking like it's in need of tlc

It could be just crap, get some electrical spray, and use that, the pressure might clear it, and the spray will clean and lube it a little

Paul Coddington · Jan 26, 2021

Already tried it, thanks anyway

Hammer....

I've got a 7 pound sledgehammer warmed up and ready

Need to replace the microswitch then unfortunately.

Not sure who repairs them but anyone with a bit of skill and a soldering iron should be able to.

Autotronics repaired mine, £38.00 there’s probably cheaper if you hunt around

I've just had mine repaired by Second remote repairs on the Bay same fault as yours and a new case for £25.99. Happy so far,just the long wait thanks to Royal Mail.

I need to start doing this stuff on the side.

Paul Coddington · Jan 26, 2021

Thanks all, I'll get it sent away for repairs.
Just phoned our local dealer to buy a replacement £256 plus vat. And it comes uncoded. Has to be coded by a local landie specialist and they don't always work.. madness

Apparently they have to sent it off to the Germans to get it coded

Go for it. As long as people are keeping these old vehicles running, there's going to be a demand

Dopey · Jan 26, 2021

True.... look at the hot start, we found the solution and someone did it, and then sold it on the bay and made a fortune out of it

I was told that the key and fob come from Germany and have to be coded here, but the main stealers don't keep data that old. Apparently the L322 models are the same now. To old
