Hi all, I am wondering if there is any way of getting around the irksome job of replacing antenna modulator ( located in the subframe of the tailgate, where the glass HAS to be removed to get at it.) I've looked at second hand tailgate, but, they have no guarantees, plus, need respray to match...

Hi all, right, I have replaced batteries several times now. Stripped down the circuit board in the key fob cleaned, and rebuilt. It only unlocks, if I hold end right over sensor in drivers door handle. A neighbours friend did a test, and apparently, my key is constantly transmitting, hence...
