Hi,
I?ve spent the past few months trying in vain to get a remote locking fob for my 406 (1996).
My dealer refuses to assist me in any way, so speaking to another garage, plus advice on here I?ve done a bit of digging around in the car.
I have an aftermarket key at present, with no remote. I?ve checked the headlining near the courtesy mirror, there?s nothing there. I?ve removed the glovebox, and using the Haynes manual as a guide, I think I?ve located what may be the remote receiver behind an access panel.
The unit in question was the upper of the units, is black, marked with a Valeo ELE brand, followed by a number, then "K6 - Made in UK", then followed by a barcode. I?ve taken down all the details and have taken a photo of the unit out of the vehicle.
Have I located the remote receiver, or is it looking like I?m going to have to keep digging? If it is, what details do I need to give to the dealer to pull his finger out and get the thing ordered? And what else should I be aware of?
Any assistance you can give will be greatly appreciated.
