Key Fob Question

External Since: Feb 17, 2008 Posts: 19

My fob stopped working so I bought another. In screwing around to see
if I can fix the broken one, I discovered that the circuit board has a
small rattle in it. I checked and sure enough, the brand new one has
the same rattle so it must be there for a reason. My guess is something
to do with the active/passive feature (?). Any suggestions? Thanks

there's a pendulum in it so that it only activates when it's moving.

if you lock yourself out of the car and the fob is in the car, you can
activate the fob by rocking the car.
