I have 2000 Max with two intermittent key fobs. Batteries are ok.
When taken apart there is evidence of a green conductive coating on
the contact areas in the rubber gasket/circuit board housing. This
coating is worn and no longer provides good electrical contact to the
ckt board switches.

Does anyone know of a coating materiel that could be used to restore
these contact areas? Are repair parts available for these fobs?

Thanks in advance.

That is true but after a half century in electronics I hate to give
in. Besides any used key fobs might have the same problem. If worst
comes to worst I will get new ones.

It's really not worth messing with. Contact this guy

He has an eBay store, and I've bought both NISSAN and MAZDA remotes. Good
guy and sells the remotes at a good price.

Good Luck!

Now thats a good soldier

Go Radio-Shack or equivalent and buy electronics contact cleaner spray. Flush. Battery ends etc, also tst on the contact area: buy contact grease aka di-electric grease. Can be used liberally.

Pictures needed if u want detailed answer. Pics have to be uploaded onto a server, address pasted here between tags:

Generally:
1. solder add-on copper foil strips.
2. Buy (or cannibalize some broken device for) a microsize switch from a shop as I did, fabricated/drilled/soldered on the pcb. Better than new, looks oriental...
