Needs reprogramming, they sometimes lose the code to operate the central locking off the button - it will still unlock and start the car just using the blade

Could try a new battery
There may be enough power to light up the diode, but not to transmit a signal

This happened to my spare, I'm sure all I needed to do was put in in the ignition and press the fob button??

Try searching the on 911uk.

It wasn't my spare I tried the other way round was hopin it would revive by unlocking with witht the spare then using the one that isn't working in the ignition for a half hour drive as thought it may re charge once car was running but no luck!!
