keyless entry

Hi All
Has anyone been able or know how to extend the range that keyless entry will work at. At present I just about have to be inside the vehicle for it to operate. I have tried a new button but still the same. I am not sure where the receiver unit is situated but it may have an external aerial which may have to be lengthened to suit the wave length of the signal to gain better reception any ideas would be appreciated .

Sure the battery isn't cactus?

Hi,
The receiver is unit is on the drivers side behind the grey kick panel on the right hand side, as keeper said, sounds more like the battery, it it a genuine keyless or an after market one? That could mean the receiver is in a different place.

I thought it was on the passenger side behind said kick panel,but maybe wrong and I don't own a 90s now to check

Hi All
To those that replied thanks. Finally located the control unit not as everyone thought or my Haynes manual says. After removing the glove box front then the plastic surround at the sides and top (3 screws ) I found it right up under the dash left corner. I doubled the aerial length to give me either half or full wave length (not sure what it is originally) and drilled a small hole in the top of the dash and have run the aerial along the dash under my dash mat. The unlocking distance has gone from having to be nearly in the vehicle to 10 metres. Hope this may be of help to others in the future.
