Remote Central Locking

April 3, 2004

As description, really. My remote central locking's decided it doesn't want to work. It's not the Battery in the keys as far as I can tell, as one's hardly ever been used and it's a new '53 car. It worked a few hours ago when I locked and unlocked it near Doncaster. I've driven home in the rain up the A1 (about 90 mins) and it just won't lock at all. I've tried two keys and the light on them're both really bright.

I went round the car and opened and closed all the doors (twice) - I know it won't lock if a door's not shut properly.

Any ideas? :ffs: :help:

Cheers,

interferance can stop it from working, maybe the key might need to be reprogrammed

Checked the fuses?

Can't recall without going out in the rain to check, but I think the central locking

has it's own fuse...even if it hasn't and is shared with something else...it still might have blown.

Do you live near a electricity pylon? Reason i ask this as i remember at the yaris meet we all parked under a pylon and none of are doors would open or shut properly. Also at jap fest at billing as they had a local radio station there they where causing havoc with all the remote central locking on the cars. Electricity and radio signals messes around with the remote control locking on modern cars mate.
