2002 Jaguar S-Type Logo

2002 S-Type. Original key fob is toast. Changed battery and tried to clean up, but it doesn't work at all. Bought a replacement and then learned that only dealer can program. Is this true?

  • Anonymous Dec 09, 2010

    I have tried this and it does nothing. No chime, no nothing. My car has a fob (transmitter) separate from the key. I have one old one and one brand new one. The old one used to work of course. It became harder and harder to use, i.e. you had to push very hard on the button, even though the battery was fresh. I took it apart to clean the contacts, thinking it had Coke or moisture of some kind in it, but that made it worse and eventually it didn't work at all. I bought a new one on line, only to learn that Jaguar would charge $100+ to program it, so I'm trying to figure a different way.

    Bought a new transmitter fob for my 2002 Jaguar S-type. I was told that only Jag dealers can program these. They want $100+ to do so. Is there another way? I've tried the 4X position 1 to position 2 procedure and it does nothing on my car.

If you want it to work, Jaguar is going to be your only option to program the FOB to the vehicle.

Step1 To program a key fob insert the key and turn to position I.
Step 2 Turn the key to position II and back to I (quickly repeat four times) and you will hear a chime if it was done correctly.
Step 3 Turn the key all the way back and take it out.
Step 4 Now press any button on the key fobs to be added and you will hear another chime. 5. If you have a set of keys for step (4) you have to press any button on two or more fobs at the same time so they both have the same code or else one will work and the others wont.

My key fob for my 2006 LaCrosse unlocks the doors & opens the trunk, but doesn't lock the doors. Can it be cleaned, or does it need to be replaced?

It is not clear whether the problem is with the fob or the receiver in the car. You could try replacing the fob (they are available online from various sites) but the receiver will need to be programmed to use it, and that usually requires a trip to a dealership (unless you have access to the OEM service manual). Your best bet is to take it to a dealership and have them diagnose and repair the problem.

2002 montana program key fob

Key fobs tend to hold their code indefintely. The batteries in them are probably burnt. Open up one of the fobs and replace the battery (hearing aid type) then they should work fine. Good Luck!~

Fob will not work changed battries and still no luck

lost one of the key fobs to a 2007 mercury montego. dealer gave me a used one for free and instructed me to turn ignition key on and off 12 times but without starting the car. next, try key fob. worked for me. if you have 2 key fobs, you may have to reprogram both, so i would change batteries in the other one as well, but only after the non working one proves good.
