key fobs won't work??

Have spent today trying to get my Webasto running - I have a T91 Telestart which used to work - now doesn't :headbang: The remote keyfob just flashes rapid orange for 5secs anytime you press either on or off??? Have tried changing the fob battery to no avail.
I put power onto Pin 1 on the Webasto itself and the unit is starting - though I don't think it is running/sounding as it should (did not hear the fuel pump kick in and got nothing from exhaust?)

Problem is now though after todays mucking about, checking fuses etc etc neither of my Keyfobs will lock/open the car. I have just tried the 're sync' procedure - that is when sitting in car with all doors closed turn Ignition to position 1 (5 times quickly), hold 'unlock' and press lock three times, release unlock. Door should lock then open - then re sync second key. I have done this succesfully in the past though 'nothing' today????

Any ideas greatly appreciated - been a long day stuck in the boot and am pretty pissed off! I did think for a while with all the playing about powering up the webasto etc it could be low battery issues but have just started the car no problem - any help really would be appreciated. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

well got the key fobs working again - a fuse had gone - a 5amp one in the boot fuse box. Second one in from the back - not sure what it is as the lid for my rear fuse box is missing! Once replaced fuse was able to 're sync' the keys and happy days.
Hap hoped this was also causing the problem with my webasto but alas it is still not working!

Wwebasto fob now working - very good tech support from Webasto UK if anyone needs to use them - they also sent me a pdf of the T91 operators manual.

All good - now everything working..... except..... in trying the fob twice this morning the car has now refused to start.... battery is flat - could this be the source of my poor webasto performance!!! I think so - by all accounts and reading the auxy heater thread on here auxy heater performance is very dependent on a spot on battery

yep, poor battery voltage will def affect the heater.

new 100ah battery fitted this afternoon - all now working 100% - happy days :)
Original battery was still in car - not bad getting 8 years on a battery.

Been a bit of an expensive week of motoring..... new wheels.... new towbar..... new battery and new steering wheel, - so been a bit of a blow out this week! No money left for santa :cry:
