Key Fob
 

:shakes head:So I washed my keyfob it was in my pocket pants and I forgot about it because I saw my spare one on the table. Have any one you done that before. I was taking my pants out from washer to put in dryer and the key fob fell. As soon as I saw it I opened it dried it with a cloth and put it in a bag full of rice.

I am waiting to take it out for about a good 3 days have you guys ever done that before and if you did, did the key fob work like normal again.

I saw other people did the same thing before and you should be fine unless you accidently cook that bag of rice.

:icon18: lol

I did the same thing...mine was fine.

I will be putting it back together when I get home and trying it out. I will post back if it works or not.

You may want to let it dry out for a little longer - I'd recommend 2-3 days. A day in a bag of rice should do the job, but why take a chance? Put everything in an open container and place it in front of a fan to speed the process. Doesn't have to be much of a fan, just something to keep the air stirred up a little bit.

Most "industrial" contact cleaners will displace water. That will help but it may not be compatible with the plastic case.

Good luck.

Mine sat in the washer for over a hour as my work clothes soaked. Once I realized I just wiped it off with a paper towel pointed it at the car and it worked. No days of drying or rice. It wasn't even wet where the key goes in

I will see today once I put it back together and see if it works. By the looks of it, it should be fine.

I do tend to play it safe with electrical/electronic stuff - sometimes to an extreme. Comes from years of being an Instrument Tech and getting paid to wait while things dried out, I guess. ;)

Going by the past experience of others, you'll probably be OK.

Let us know what happens.

Good news my key fob still works I have it today. So if you wash your key fob you should be fine. I let mine sit in a bag of rice for about a day and half.

Yay!:tup:

Great news!

My spare key is gone entirely, even worse

Like it just walked away?
