Hello,

my first time replying to a post. I am a beginner when it comes to diagnosing car problems but one question that crossed my mind is does our mini keys complete some kind of circuit?

If so, maybe there's an electrical issue with the key ignition system circuit (if you checked this then overlook this post). I don't know if there's a way to open that circuit up and use a voltmeter to check circuit continuity. Or maybe I am misperceiving this situation or where you are along the diagnosing process.

All the Best,

Patrick
