Hello everybody,
I like to share my weird problem with key fob hoping somebody can help. One of the key fob stopped working while other one works perfectly. Problem one cannot open doors but it is okay on ignition. I changed the battery, cleaned inside, no luck What it could be? I don't think it is fuse problem as other key works.
Thank you ManVidMB-V8 and shan, Thank you for your time. I appreciated that you answered.
I tried to swap the battery holder from non working one to working one. When I have uninstalled them found that they are not identical. They are totally different and there is no luck to try non-working one with this way. I checked the polarity of batteries but they are okay. I measured them and they give 3.06 v both. I cannot see any crack on buttons and I do not remember that any water got to the key. It just stopped working. Any idea?
Are you in Europe? This look like Non-USA keys. (no "panic" button)
Can you take pic of other side of circuit board on problem key?
If you were in US I could fix it, but European keys use different frequency so you may need to find someone in EU to fix.
Sometimes there is electro migration from water combined with electricity that in effect electroplates some pins, shorting them. Will be a white/green powder. I have repaired one by just using a toothbrush and alcohol to clean the powder from the pins

What it could be? I don't think it is fuse problem as other key works.
