Title: Central Locking / key fob issue
Post by: Kev_Mc on 24 July 2018, 07:45:57 PM
A couple of times now my key fob has not worked. Tried pressing to lock the car many times and nothing happens. Can lock with the key no problem (all doors lock). There are no messages on the SID and I've replaced the battery in the key fob a few months ago.

After a while I'll go back to the car and it works fine.

Any ideas what this is likely to be? I would have thought there'd be a message on the SID if there was an issue..

Radio interference?  I had a problem on one site where there was a big construction project where the crew had walk-in talkies.  Abs we used to have a problem at home once in a while.  There was an amateur radio ham about three doors along.  He's long gone thank goodness..

Not sure what this is as it's done it close to where I live though not for a while. Has happened in at least two different locations. Will keep an eye on it.
