Default Small radiator crack and remote alarm button does not work anymore

I have a 99 gs400, and the radiator is cracked a little. I heard that you can solder the nylon cable tie to the crack and it will work. Also soldering the plastic wire or something like that and it will also work. Is that true? Anyone tried repairing a radiator before?

My remote alarm button did not unlock/lock my door when I pressed it. I replaced the C1616 lithium battery and it worked. 2 weeks later, it stopped working again. I replaced the battery again and it still does not work. Anyone have this problem before or what I can do to fix this remote alarm button?

I just found a crack in my radiator also. I just ordered one last night from rockauto.com for $103 shipped (only 4 left of the one I bought which is $173 at autozone). I was also pleased to find out that it is shipping from around Fontana instead of from the esat coast.

Nope, the battery is new and the buttons are fine. I am guessing the connection is broken or something. I was going to take a look at it but I can't seem to open the thing. Anyone have this remote problem before??
