So here's the issue. The Key Fob for the remote stopped working yesterday after gradually getting a bit 'sleepy'. I presumed the batteries were at fault, so i bought some new ones and it hasnt solved the problem.

I'm at a stage where the car will not respond to the key fob being pressed. The drivers door can be locked/unlocked with the key but the rest of the car's locking system doesn't respond. However, it can be locked/unlocked centrally from the passenger door and all doors lock and unlock.

I've reprogrammed the key to the car already, that went fine but i cannot get the remote locking to work....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

basically the alarm box (located under driver footwell, silver box with 3 plugs) collects static and stops it recieving a signal from the fob! by dissconnecting the 3 plugs for a few min or by removing fuse it will allow some static to dissipate allowing the remote to work again. usually it only lasts a few months or so before it needs doing again!

NO Worries!!

I took the fuse out, checked it and replaced and it seems to be fine now....

Alll very odd!
