What to Do When Your Car Remote Key Gets Wet
1 Answers
Here are the steps to handle a soaked car remote key: 1. Wipe the exterior dry. You can open its casing, remove the battery, insert a screwdriver into the slot, and turn it clockwise to fully separate the two parts of the remote. 2. Use a cotton swab or anhydrous alcohol to clean the circuit board. The 95% concentration alcohol sold in pharmacies is suitable, as anhydrous alcohol has strong water-absorbing properties. Then, blow it dry. 3. Use highly absorbent paper towels to dry the internal components. Do not immediately test any remote functions, as the chip in the wet remote key might short-circuit and burn out.
