keyless entry on volvo 88' 760 turbo 700 1988


I think I'd be more concerned about fixing the locks, they do tend to get very tight when they are left unlubed for too long, try squirting some high quality penetrating fliud into the key holes, drown them in the stuff, it could loosen them up after a while.
When I got my 760Ti the locks were very stiff, I've sprayed them twice so far and they are getting a lot better, they were tight enough when I got it that they were bending the key a little.

The other thing that I have seen catch quite a few people out is a worn key, what sort of condition is your key in?
Keys do wear out, the metal rubs off them and often they loose enough metal that they no longer operate the door locks, and I have usually found that they stop working in the doors before the ignition. I had one key for an old mazda once that never stoped working in the ignition, but would not open either door.

The only problem with the worn key issue is that you need the original key code to get a new one cut, as most times getting a new copy of the of the old key won't do any good, as there is no longer enough material there to get a good copy.
