Tracker Remote Control Fob

Steve, the light was not showing when the button was depressed. I've been able to open the Fob using a narrow bladed stiff knife and it contains a A23 12 volt battery, also known as an LVR08 battery. I've sent for a twin pack from an Amazon dealer for £2:00 so if it works that'll be a saving of nearly £56!! And I'l have a spare should the other fob stop for the same reason.

Fingers crossed nellie. It is certainly worth a try. It seems crazy there are no instruction re battery replacement. I suppose they just hope you buy a new one instead.

May be they expect the van to have been sold on before the battery runs down and the new owners will just cough up for a new hob thinking the old one is kn**kered. The amount of use we put our van through would equate to around 20 yrs "normal" caravanning, not the 7 yrs we've had it.

Be careful if the battery has been left out of the fob for a while as might loose the memory and need re-matching with the alarm control again. you never said what make the tracker/alarm is and might make a difference with some of the answers you get back. If its a Phantom you can ring them and get instruction leaflet on how to do this. I don't know what they fit in Baileys.

Thanks, I'm not sure of the make and the fob has not been working for a couple of weeks now so perhaps the memory is already lost. I took the battery out yesterday and anticipate the new battery will be with me early next week. fingers crossed that it will work ok. I only got home today and will look through the van to find the alarm and find it's manufacturer.

Just received the replacement battery for the fob today and the fob now operates the alarm. Thankfully I did not have to bother about re-matching the fob to the alarm. 

So for an outlay of just over £1 all's working again, compared to the £59 Bailey wanted for a replacement. Why couldn't they just have suggested replacing the battery I wonder?

Thanks everyone for their advice and suggestions.
