currently got an astra convertible 53 plate. the central locking is just purely not working. the fob has had a new battery in it and the fob red light wont light up let alone the central locking actually work. anybody and diagnosis for it or any suggestions cheers

cant gaurantee it will work, but disconnect car battery fully then touch the live wire to the negative wire away from the battery terminals for approx 10 seconds, this will clear most ECU faults on car. Reconnect terminals and try remote again. Once this is done you will need to reset the front windows by holding the down button for 20 seconds and then the up button for 20 seconds until it is reset . Also it may sound daft but double check the batterys in remote are the right way around
