Title: Remote locking
Post by: sammy on 20 April 2008, 15:33:45

My 2000 facelift 2.0 remote key wont work but the central locking is fine when i use it in the door.I changed the battery in the key but to no avail. The boot release button on the key has stopped working aswell.

is it the 3 button type?
does the keyfob have a light on it that comes on when you press the button?
do you have a spare?

Hi yes its the 3 button type and the light is coming on I have got a spare and have changed the battery in that also but it wont work either which is making me think its a problem with the car

Sounds like you may need to resync the key to the car :-/

If the light is coming on it is almost a sure fire indication that the fob is working ok.
What I have learnt from years of mucking about with motorbikes is that the most simple reason is usually the right one.

So................

Try checking the fuses that control the locking system first.

another thought.... does the central locking work ok with the key (all round) and the button on the door?

Hi Sammy,

In respect of the tatty key fob/case please my topic "keys" under 'Omega General Help'; you will find some very useful info supplied by fellow forum members. :y
