Re: key fob repairs!!!
This worked for me, hope it helps?
Key Fob re-Programing for XJ6 and XJ8
The battery is a single CR2032 cell that’s placed positive (+ is the bigger side diameter) down into the plastic battery bottom (not the buttons’ side), of the FOB’s case.
Early FOBs have the prefix LJA, whilst later cars use the LJE version. The programing technique is quite straightforward:
1, Make sure that little flap in the ignition barrel closes inside the hole -- if it is sluggish or stuck then a little lock lube and working the key in and out a few times usually does the trick. This flap must be shut otherwise the locking module will think there is a key in and not allow the system to go into learning mode.
2, Get into the car with the key and remotes to hand and make sure ALL doors, bonnet and boot are properly closed.
3, Pull the headlamp flasher stalk towards the steering wheel and hold there.
4, Now put the ignition key in and turn to position 1 (ACC with no dash lights on)
5, Release the headlamp flasher and flash FOUR more times -- the tell-tale LED on the left of the “J” gate gear selector should flash ONCE
6, Now press the lock button on the remotes a total of FIVE presses (one remote 5 times, 2 remotes, 3 on one and 2 on the other etc. The “J” gate LED will flash at each button press.
7, Remove the ignition key and the “J” gate LED will flash ONCE more as it is taken out.
