I mistakenly ran my R1250 keyless remote through the washing machine. Of course it didn’t work afterwards and I tried everything to fix it such as putting it in rice, opening it up and gently blowing it out and letting the opened remote sit in a sunny window. Then I replaced the battery and halleluiah, it worked! But a few weeks later it stopped working so I replaced the battery and it worked for just a few more weeks. I then left it in a sunny window for 3-4 weeks and tried another new battery but that one is dying after a couple weeks.
New factory replacement remotes are very expensive so I’m looking for help.
Can my old remote be salvaged or do I need a new one? If I need a new one is there a cheaper source that the dealer? All I know is that I can’t risk any sort of trip from home for fear of getting stuck somewhere far away. I carry that silly little plastic key and a spare battery but that’s not a long-term solution.
