Hi Steve. OK, When you replaced the battery in the fob, did you programme it? If not, the method is as follows. Turn the ignition key in quick succession from off to ignition on 4 times. You should hear a chime to indicate programme mode. Quickly remove the key and press the lock button followed by the unlock button. Wait until you hear the chime again and see if the fob works. If it does not operate the central locking, see if you can open the tailgate with the fob, I guess you have a three button remote? If it doesn't, repeat the above but quicker!! it should programme quite easily. When you checked the fuse, did you take it out? I suggest you remove the fuse and wait 30 seconds and put back in, get someone in the car to see if any doors respond to you replaceing the fuse. recheck the fob operation and the key, this maybe the answer. Once again if no change I cant think of anything else you can try! Very difficult not being there!! Before going off to spend your pension, have a good think about all you have done and go over it all once again, you could save yourself a bit of cash!!
