[mr rosher]

hi everyone im hopeing that someone can help with this before i have to go to the main dealers,

on monday my key fob got wet and would not work, tryed drying it out with a hair dryer but no good, the problem is, i can open the car with the key but the imobiliser is still active, is there any way i can bypass this, or do i need to get a new remote, ?

remove the batteries and make sure the contacts are clean and dry, if the fob is sealed it wont dry !!!.

Water can get under the components on the key, just get it warm to be sure that it is dry

hi jibcl500 im not sure what make it is, all i can say its square about 1" wide and 1" 1/4 long with the mercedes sticker on it, when this got wet i split the remote and it was soaked removed the battery, then removed the small pcb from the casing and spent at least 10 min each side with a hair dryer trying to dry it out, and then left it apart over night, in my job im use to dealing with wet pcb`s and know how to handle them, fitted all back together with new battery and nothing,

if i can`t get this thing working again, is there anyway i can bypass the immobilizer, as i said the key opens the doors and the ignition lights up but then the alarm goes off and she won`t start,

thanks for your help
