One of the Remote Control Fobs for the Tracker Alarm on my Bailey Unicorn Madrid has stopped working. Has anyone had this happen to them and have they been able to replace the battery in it. I've been quoted £57:99 for a replacement from Bailey Parts!! Any advice would be gratefully received.

The chances are it's not a Bailey part, Nellie, but from a third party. See if you can find a maker's name on the fob or on the alarm box or in your instructions and try an internet search for it. 

Sometimes it’s only a case of the fob and the alarm box not talking to each other and if you go through a putton pushing reprogramming exercise that might be all it needs but you need the information on how to do it.

It might just be a duff battery in the fob.

Is it supplied by Sargeant?

There’s not much I can say, Nellie, other than in similar circumstances our dealer 'fobbed' us off and we only solved the problem by going straight to the alarm company who were very helpful. Could the name have been Auto Watch?

There's no name or other details whatsoever on the fob. All I have is the part number from Prima, Bailey Parts supplier.. There's nothing in the hand book, so I guess that I'll have to have a look around when I get home to see if I can identify the manufacturer of the alarm

If you give full details including the year I suspect somebody will know

It's a Bailey Unicorn Madrid, 2011 model, if that helps. I'm not even sure where the alarm unit is, and it's a bit inconvenient searching at the moment as we are still away.

usually under the front seat opposite side to water heater. one of my fobs didn't work when I bought caravan( second hand ) lunar with Sargent alarm. had to remove cove from alarm box and press button on fob at same time as button and alarm box and when light flashed on circuit board it was matched and worked ever since. read the alarm manual and will explain what to do. hope this helps.

Didn't know I had an alarm manual, so must search it out and see what's what. Thanks for the info, LL

I can't find one for our Bailey, a 2014 Cadiz. There is just a page in the main book telling you how to set it and no reference to another more detailed booklet.

Is the little red light very dim or not working when you press the button. If so it is probably the battery. Unfortunately from a search of the web it is a hope / pray replacement, due to the risk of breakage.

Hope the info in the photos helps. Perhaps ours will last until we trade it in for a MH.🤞
