How to Match a Malfunctioning Besturn X80 Car Key?
3 Answers
Insert the car key into the ignition switch, turn it from the LOCK position to the ACC position, and repeat switching the ignition switch from the ACC position to the ON position five times, then keep it in the ON position. Here is some relevant information about the Besturn X80: 1. Introduction: The Besturn X80 is built on the M1 platform. 2. Exterior: The Besturn X80 shares the same platform as the Besturn B70, including the chassis and powertrain. In terms of exterior design, the Besturn X80 retains some design elements from the Besturn X concept car, with a distinctive overall design. The front grille, fog light area, and underbody protection feature extensive use of silver accents, emphasizing its youthful positioning.
It's quite common for my Besturn X80's key fob to malfunction after prolonged use, often due to a dead battery or signal loss. For pairing, don't panic—first try replacing the battery. If the battery is fine, you'll need to re-pair it. The specific steps are: sit in the car with the doors closed, insert the key into the ACC position without starting the engine, then press the lock or unlock button on the remote five to ten times consecutively. The dashboard lights will flash once to indicate success. However, the pairing method may vary for different model years of the X80, so it's best to check the user manual. Avoid randomly pressing buttons and causing issues—if the anti-theft system gets damaged, it's even more troublesome. My advice is to visit a 4S dealership and have them handle it with specialized equipment—it's the most hassle-free solution. Also, remember to keep the key fob dry, avoid dropping it, and replace the battery annually as a preventive measure. This way, you won’t run into issues when heading out for a drive.
I also drive a Besturn X80, and I've matched the key myself a few times when it malfunctioned—it's super simple! First, check if the battery is dead. Replacing the coin battery only costs a few bucks. If the battery is fine but the key still doesn’t work, try pairing it: sit in the car, lock the doors, turn the key to the second position (but don’t start the engine), then press the remote unlock button rapidly about five times. Wait for the car to flash its lights or beep—that means it’s paired. However, the number of button presses might vary for different batches of the X80, so checking the manual or looking up a detailed tutorial online is the safest bet. I once failed to pair it, but luckily, I didn’t mess up the system. If DIY doesn’t work quickly, it’s best to contact the manufacturer or a repair shop. Also, avoid keeping the key in a bag where it might get crushed, and make sure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity. These small details can save you a lot of trouble—don’t wait until the car stalls mid-drive to panic!
