Keyless entry button on door handle not working - Page 3

Just got my passenger lock button working again using this I 'borrowed' from work...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/271801783112

I can't believe my post above was in January and I put up with it for over 9 months. I used the straw and blasted it at point-blank range repeated all around the gap between the grey silicone rectangle and chrome. It started working after a few seconds. I jabbed the button a few times during the procedure but it started to freeze my fingers. It leaves no residue and I also did the undersides of the handle for the unlock function.

Now all four lock every time. Unlock only seems available on the front handles, so maybe I was wrong thinking I had intermittent problem with needing to lift the handle twice. Maybe it was just when I tried the rear handles. Can anyone one confirm if the rear handles do a proximity unlock or only handle-lift unlock?

I did finish with ECP http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Ac...897322&cc5_152
Silicone spray with eurocarparts in the hope of keeping water out of the buttons.

Thanks.

Both mine on the drivers side was not working , I sprayed them with similar contact cleaner to the link and I got them working a treat , but when it rains they tend to play up again , they mustn't have much resistance to water ingress

If someone has an old one that is scrap it would be interesting if they could cut out the button and see what is underneath.

I'd like to see that too. In fact if someone sends it to me, I will perform the section.

I found the 3 bolts that release the chrome piece.

This was with the handle on the car however, so I didnt take them all off.
