    Hello. I hava a 99' 406 Hdi, not the latest version, and i´m having
    problems with my remote contro, in the key. Sometimes it used to work
    (lock and unlock doors), but now it doesn't, so i have to open the doors
    with the key. My local Peugeot dealer tell's me that i have to change all
    the circuit. Is there any other way? Thank´s in advanced.

  2. Interesting ...
    Have you changed the battery?
    If that's not the problem, than I would try to dose the interior of the key
    with electrical contact spray before changing the circuits.
    Has anyone tried the contact spray on a key?

    Probably a silly question but you have checked the battery haven't you?

    Try re-coding the key, the sequence is given further down somewhere...

    I had to do this after changing the battery.

    Try re-initialising the key. This happened to me a couple of years ago on
    a 98 406. The dealer told me to put the key in the ignition, turn the
    ignition on, hold the big button for 10 secs followed by the little button
    for 10 secs. Turn the ignition off, pull the key out and then try
    locking/unlocking whilst still in the carl

    Hope this helps

    I don't think that is the correct sequence...

    I think the correct sequence is to insert key, turn to ignition position 2,
    press big button for ten seconds, turn ignition off and remove key.
    Should now work.

    Thanks for all the answers! First, yes i´ve changed the battery, it´s a new
    one. My remote only has one buton, wich lights a red light. In the weekend
    i tried to dismantle the light next to the rear view mirror, ´cos i
    thought the receiver could have dust in it, like i read here somewhere.
    I´ve tried to keep the key in 2nd position, press the buton for 15 secs
    and then tried to open... no luck. My local dealer tells me i have to put
    a new system... very expensive! Does anyone knows where is the receiver
    that controls the signal. I think i´m going to buy a second hand receiver
    and change it my self!

  9. On my 1992 405 it is in the consul on the roof where the roof light is.
    Try ebay, people always scrapping PUGS.
