ML270 key fob issue

[pace]

Hi all, one of the key fobs for my ML 2003 270 has died. I have tried new batteries and have tried to re program by pressing the the ignition in position 1 but no joy. I suspect that it has just failed with age.

Luckily I have a second fob which is working but I don't like only having one as we got caught out before with the A Class.

Am I missing something with the reprogramming procedure?

Can I source another ML fob and program it to my car?

Is it repairable? I used a guy for the A Class fobs who was good and sorted the problem.

Any advice would be much appreciated, I have looked on the forum but couldn't seem to fine much related info.

Thanks oigle, that's different to what I was trying, I'll give it a go.
