Remote door locks not working

[shamirj]

Hi All,

My remote key door lock lights up but hasn't worked for years and finally wanting to do something about it. I manually lock and unlock the doors:mad:

Before booking in the car for a dealer to check out what can i do at home - anything. I dont have rovacom etc.

the little light on the fob lights up when i press the fob so assume the battery is ok but needs reprogramming i guess :angel:

what cost is involved in programming the two key fobs to read? Are there any other way to reprogram without having to go to the dealers :( suggestions please :angel:

Hi Shamirj
I would start with the fob batteries as a start point , even though the light flashes the battery may not have enough strength to transmit.after installing new battery in fob make sure vehicle is unlocked then stand close to drivers door press the lock button on fob for up to 10 seconds so that the central locking and the fob can re synchronize and the doors should lock,if this happens unlock and re lock 2 or 3 more times just to make sure also check fuse which is fuse #1 (top fuse left hand column ) under dash 25 amp.
hope this helps

Just to add to ^, I belive if the fob batt. is low the red dash light blinks faster.
