Do the power windows, and convertible top still work? Interior lights? Do the locks operate from the control panel?

If not, check the C3 fuse for corrosion or failure.

everything works fine ..what do you mean exactly by control panel ?

Does the car lock/unlock when you press the button up near the radio?

[Fungirl]

is there anyone in the UK that repairs keyfobs without having to go to a dealership ?

Go to a shop that repairs electronics it 's probably just a bit of soldering that's needed on the contacts. If that don't work then you will probably have to buy a new key at the dealer. The dealers are not that bad here at least I get all my service done there. Good luck.

There is a button on your center stack horseshoe that has a picture of a key on it. If you push this button, it should lock the car.
