Default Go figure. Here's another clue for you all...

A few threads below I was trying to find out possible reasons my keyless lock/unlock kessey system had quit working. I the last two weeks it has been cold (24-40 degrees F) here in KC and my Kessy system now works as intended. What I dont know is if the weather is causal or coincidence. Can anyone think of a way that temperature could have an such an affect on that system ?

Cold weather is drying out some moisture located in the modules or wiring?

A good thought, but I think that if drying out was the cause of the Kessy function returning, then a period of time in the cold weather would be needed for the drying I should think. But what happened was that the system came back on line the first cold day we had; so still a mystery I think.

Well, today it's 55 F and the Kessy system is still working fine...so the onset of cold weather and the Kessy starting to function again were coincidental events. That leaves me back to scratching my head as to what is going on; I hate it when that happens ! I guess I will just enjoy the fact that I dont have to fish around in my pocket for the key for the time being
