Hello,

i've replaced the micro switches in my key fob, because the open / close button didn't work without pressing so heavy that i damaged the rubber key cover.

I used this video tutorial on Youtube to learn how to:


Got the micro switches on eBay. 3 were about 12 Euros.

Problem was that when i desoldered the mircroswitch for the open/close function, one conductor track came off with the switch. Don't know if that was caused by the heavy pressing before or by the desoldeding. Could fix that with a little piece of copper wire. So take care when soldering and desoldering.

The buttons now work with very little pressure. What a really big difference.

Regards, Markus
