So I go start the Seg I2 recently after a winter break, and it takes two pushes to start it up. Then yesterday, it didn't work at all unless I pushed the button many times.
getting it closer to the radio board doesn't help. My secondary key also starting to show same signs. Was able to get thru it okay. The screen on the key went blank also, first thoughts were the batt. Changed the batt in the first key, checked at 3.1 volts. (no load remember) and it didn't seem to help much. Could still get it to start with some aggravation. Same on shut down. Question 1: When I push the start button on the key, I notice the antenna symbol will come on for a second or two, then go out. Rinse and repeat. Does the key have 2 way comms on two freqs with the seg (send and receive) or does it share one send/receive channel. (that's my guess). I'll guess the antenna symbol is the key sending a start sig to the seg? What freq does it use? I also know the history of the batteries for these keys, I am going to find a way to "load test' these cells like a car battery to get an better indication of cell condition.
