I've done a search for key fob and got 17 pages of info do I have to trawl through each thread to find out if I've knackered my key fob

Stupid question...

Can you not dry the key out completely and try it?

Would it be best to replace the batteries with new ones
I'm using the spair
If I try the washed key and it doesn't work will this have any effect when I use the spair key
I'm just wondering if I can do something with the washed key before I try it

Thanks kevin

Yes dry it out air line or hair dryer and put the batteries in and try it and always carry the spare with you..just in case

Keyless go cards can be washed up to 40c over that and you need £145 for a new card.

Please do not ask how I know
