Thank you so much for sharing. I'm already 2 hours late for work but at least I'll get there today now thanks to you and not bloody Renault! Worked first time 👍
Just wanted to thank you. My husband's Megane has been playing up when starting & yesterday let him down totally so he had to get breakdown to bring him home. I decided to google the fault & came across your video. Checked inside the fob today & yep, one of the connections had come off. Stuck a bit of solder on it & instantly working car. Who needs a man? ;) Well I did, I needed you to tell me what the problem was & how to fix it :)
I had already repaired my card a couple of years ago (the coil connection), but the thin wire was now the new problem. Which thanks to your video I was also able to repair 😃
The main problem is that manufacturers are required to use lead free solder on today's circuit boards. Lead free solder is way too brittle to work on such a flexible circuit board. One has to clean off that crap and use a high quality lead based solder for electronics, 60/40 (lead/tin ratio with a rosin flux only, acid flux will eat away the copper on the board causing more destruction.) Lead based solder is more forgiving to flex but still be careful with these cards.
Woow, super, thank you so so so much for sharing. I have now done almost exactly how you showed to do it. The round coil actually fell our of the card case...I soldered it pretty clean and now checking if its working. Thanks again mate !!!
@@dmgladden Thank you David, after following your instructions, I went to the car and VOILA, perfect starting. I tried it several times without any issues anymore. You are the one !!! Great ! Thanks a mill again !
Idea works. Get a new detachable card, re-solder the coil connection, stick old electrics into new card. Detachable card key - £8.50, empty card key £5 from ebay, but see above.
Yes at first it did seem a bit of a strange one to me as well but after some simple test it was clear it was just to stabilise it coil, thanjs for watching
I mean to say you explain everything very clearly But to have a repair for something Renault wants to break because they wanted to charge me for a new fob and to scan to the car they wanted 650 euro thank God a spare fob came with the car but I am gone tackle it. I'll watch more vids if you where to have close up to what you working but absolutely fantastic video
Thank you, it worked!!! All i had to do is reposition one of those tiny rectangle looking things on the top (near where you were fixing the connection) and it works now!!!
I'm a DIY guy too but I always want to be sure what I take apart. I had my key repaired for 35 Euro but it's failing again. New they are over a 100 Euro. I wonder if it's OK to put some hot glue around the coil after soldering. Do you know? THANKS for the clear and short explanation. I now know what to do. Thanks again! I'm a fan!
Yes it's crazy money and they wanted the car for two weeks so I am now gonna learn how to solder video makes it very easy I'll let you know how I get on
I did this because my key broke today and it was unlocking, locking the car just fine. Took it apart after like 45 minutes, soldered the connections, put it back together and now instead of just saying card not detected, it also won't lock the doors anymore. I've had this car for a month and literally just filled it with fuel. I'm scrapping it tomorrow am not paying £100+ quid just to move it again. And that's minus the mot cost which is next month anyway.
Very helpfull!! But my problem is that the baterry finishes after 1 week.....No buttom is pressed to spoil the baterry (i have checked it)....any idea?
@@dmgladden Sure, thats the problem, I tried to clean every obvious cirquit, I think I have to check and measure every connection but I dont have any idea of which is the desired numbers....Tnx anyway...
Renault Megane 2,reporting "Electronic Fault"on dashboard, found the broken wire under the car engine, fixed the wire and the electronic fault disappeared and the car started again, now the electronic fault thing keeps on coming back causing the car engine to stall when starting, what can I do...
thank you I'm glad I could be of help and to save you money at the same time, as you will be from my channel donations are most welcome if you feel i deserve it,
DO NOT ATTACH WIRE UNNECESSARILY . I did as above with the wire connection, card did not work. Took wire off card worked. The fault was loose coil connection.
Maybe you can help me???? My dash has said card not detected for a while (only had 2 months anyway) but have always got it started! I used it one morning, came back and then havent been able to start it since! a few days Before that, it had trouble turning over and had to hold button in or push it a fair few times! Now I cant do anything! It still comes up card not detected, and push clutch/brake, but nothing! Could it be immobilised or Could it be the card??? PLEASE HELP!!!!
Debi Morris hi Debi to be honest it does sound like the card to me and it sounds like the transmiter my be gone, if all the connections are good as I so in this video I would consider getting a new transmitter that's the black disc which I show reconnecting, i hope that will halp
Frist the Card was working with the Knife Method Then i decided to Repair it just like what you did Step by Step..i connected the Two Points .. Now ist not Working at all
Did you solder together the two small points, and from there to the antenna? You need a fine point solder iron, fine solder with flux and heat the point and then add solder to the point. Do not do it like this dude did - melt the solder to the soldering iron - thats wrong!
David Gladden Is there a easy getting the card opened to reveal the curcuit board..ive seen video where they are saying it hard to open and can easily damage and look a mess when putting back together ....can u do a video on how to open the card please neatly
o000omusico000o i think there is a difference between No key detected and what i got Please insert card, it might be best to call Renault parts department as they seem to know about these things
Wish someone come here and read my concern which is different from all the ones explained. My problem is the key wont work to lock and unlock.. so it's worrying to just park anywhere.. SOMEONE TALK TO ME, PLEASE
@@rabi3341 hi Jaysen sorry for some reason your message never came to me till this last one, im afraid i couldnt have help you if i has as its just the start function i researched and fixed the locking is a different subject which i don't understand, i would only suggest is the dealers but not cheap. Sorry
@@dmgladden thanks for your quick response. I have just paid 90£ for mechanic to come and have a look . He jumped start it only;the problem with car battery actually and advised me to get my car battery checked in properly at garage. Thank you anyway 👍. Keep up the good work!
mira ibriy you have to explain more than just doesnt work for anyone to help you, and as you can see from the comments its worked for a lot of people so please explain
A Great BIG Thank you to Neil from Yorkshire who was so determined to thank me despite not having Paypay he posted £10 directly to me. Also a big thanks to all the wonderful grateful people whom thank me through my , www.paypal.com/paypalme/Davidglad makes helping people worth while THANK YOU ALL
There Is not the problema i destroy my card for your fault. The problema Is in the Little feet (3) and 1 Is break, i see you repair this bicause Is solded, you are terrible madman
@@dmgladden in fact he made me destroy the key, among other things, that's not the problem, but one of the 3 feet that support the round black transponder, and I saw that he had already had to repair it previously because it's repaired and welded, but why he didn't give that real simple solution, this what he makes us do here, breaks things that aren't. a disaster unfortunately I realized later where the real problem was, the broken foot, that's why the fix worked with the knife, pressing made contact
@@axelrov you are a proper nutter aren't you, maybe it's good you go away and not ask people for help anymore as I for one do not want to help people like you ever
@@axelrov look mate this video has helped over 100 thousand people and your the first bag comment its had so I would say on the law of averaged your the problem not the video so find a mirror and give your self a talking to
Old video but I can confirm this is 100% spot on, just fixed our key and took no time at all. Thank you for sharing dude!
Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain the solution to the key problem. I do appreciate it.

Thank you
Thank you for the video man, helped me a lot! Greetings from Portugal!
Thank you so much, you don't know how much you helped me. You're a lifesaver.

This is why i like older ignitions,i remember once i lost my key and was late to work i just smashed the lock whit a hammer and it turned on
Thank you for confirming the bottom solder is just a stabling point. I assumed it was the case but wasn't sure.
Yes at first it did seem a bit of a strange one to me as well but after some simple test it was clear it was just to stabilise it coil, thanjs for watching
Great vid, I finding hard to break the plastic key casing apart, any tips ?
I mean to say you explain everything very clearly
But to have a repair for something Renault wants to break because they wanted to charge me for a new fob and to scan to the car they wanted 650 euro thank God a spare fob came with the car but I am gone tackle it.

Wow Joe thats a lot of money, typical of these big companies.
Well i hope my video helps you and makes Renault a little less money.
Thank you, it worked!!! All i had to do is reposition one of those tiny rectangle looking things on the top (near where you were fixing the connection) and it works now!!!

It would cost me a lot
i respect you alot ⚘
thank you I'm glad I could be of help and to save you money at the same time, as you will be from my channel donations are most welcome if you feel i deserve it,
Will the card not reset if you have the battery out for too long?
Not if its faulty

How do I open the card? It feels like the shell will break..
I ordered a replacement from ebay first about £1 just do a seach on ebay many people are selling them, then use a sharp Stanley knife
What is that burning tool
Leon Alex burning tool? Pass
You should show this on natural lite
What's natural life?
@@dmgladden am not sayin life,the lite is bad I mean it's hard to see when is darked inside or camera is not positionig at good place...
@@dmgladden and how you opened fabricated glued box of the card? If i try i can make things go worse ☺
@@flatpancake1162 ah sorry so your not thanking me for my help and information you are just wanting to criticise my camera work, ok i understand

Thankyou David much appreciated 🙏
