    Lightbulb Key less remote tip!

    My key less remote started to crap out, I thought O well time for a new one! Being an old mech I decided to take it apart, I popped the little circuit board out and that when I saw how dirty the contact area was. Using a pencil eraser I cleaned it up, it now works like brandy new! So don't chuck your bad remote open it up and try a cleaning job first!
