2004 V70 with Volvo key remote #8688799: https://parts.volvocars.ca/p/Volvo__/Keyless-Entry-Transmitter/42814716/8688799.html
Issue:
The vehicle suddenly only responds to the primary key fob when the buttons (lock, unlock, trunk, lights, panic) are pushed 2-4 times. This did not happen before, and this does not occur with the secondary key fob that is rarely used.
Troubleshooting so far:
1. CR2032 battery voltage was at 3.2v, but I replaced it with new (3.3v) with no difference
2. Swapped batteries with the working secondary remote (3.19v), no difference with either remote
3. Opened up the remote and the micro switch solder joints seem fine
4. DMM detects continuity at each micro switch when each switch was pressed multiple times
5. Battery contact points seem fine
It seems that the switches are fine based on the above, and the issue occurs with every button. Perhaps the antenna? I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff and would appreciate any input or feedback.
I looked up the FCC ID (LQNP2T-APU) for reference if it is helpful. There are schematics there that might make more sense to you: https://fccid.io/LQNP2T-APU#Exhibits-2
