Central Locking Problems

[albi969]

Hello all,

Am new to this forum so bear with me.

For some strange reason, the key fob for my 98 corolla wont activate the central locking.and a beeping noise comes from under the bonnet,this noise stops if i lock using the key.The key fob will however unlock the car.Will the immobiliser still be effective.Luckily i dont have the owners handbook and only one set of keys

Thanks in advance for any advice

Sounds like one of the door courtesy switches is faulty and has shorted out. It would cause all of the symptoms you've described. A replacement shouldn't cost much if you do the work yourself. On a side note, the immobiliser will still function, as that is independent from the central locking system.
