Re: Car remote's range becomes smaller

["petem" <petem001@xxxxxxxxx>]

there is 2 possibility here,
the receiver part of the alarm is untuned or the transmitter is untuned..

if you have no prior experience with such manipulation,don't come back here
saying that you broke everything,and its my fault,those manipulation could
ruin the remote or the receiver...

if you open the transmitter you maybe able to see some small pot or some
adjustment,take in note where are the actual adjustment (with a notch on the
board with a marker where the wipe of the pot is before touching it) and try
to adjust ONE pot at a time,also look for soldering joint that could have
failed,especially in the antenna section of the remote..

if that doesn't work,its the receiver,and you need to do the same on it..
AGAIN,if you have no prior experience with such manipulation,don't come back
here saying that you broke everything,and its my fault....

if you choose not to do it,you could figure out if its the receiver or the
remote by trying a new remote on it...

by the way some alarm manufacturer will give 5 year warranty on such
device,take a look at there web site to know if its still under warranty..
