Hi,
My key for my central locking doesn't seem to work even though I have replaced the battery also when I lock the car by hand the alarm goes off untill I put the key in the ignition switch,It didn't used to do this is there any simple answer for this.

Think you have to synchronise the fob again.

Think it's ignition on, press and hold one of the button until something happens.

One of the 'gods' will no doubt be along to correct me soon

pretty close

Key in, ignition on

press lock until all central locking doors lock

press unlock until all central locking doors unlock

switch off, remove key

Test   - should all now work  

(not a God in any way, shape or form ...    )

Thank's jules I have tried that and it didn't seem to work but I will go and try it again thanks again

[DAVEC]

Tried it again doesn't seem to want to work

okies .. check the fob battery is in the right way round, and the little contacts haven't broken - small bit of card against the battery sometimes works.

Does the LED on the keyfob light when you press any buttons ??

Does anything happen when you press buttons with the key in the ignition and turned to ON ??

If nothing happens, and LED not lighting... sounds like the key is electrically "dead" .. we just need to find out why ...

the reset proceedure may be different depending what sort of key you have.  Best to check your manual.

Are you saying the remote locking isn't working?

The battery is + side outer (Tried it bothway) there is 3 pronglike thing's there that seem pretty secure
The LED light doesn't light up but I didn't think it did when the remote did work.
nothing happen's when I turn the ignition on and press the buttons
This has all happened when my key's got caught in the front door and the car key fell apart so perhap's a connection has come apart

Yes that doesn't from the key also when I lock it by hand the alarm goes of when I unlock it and open the door

methinks its highly probable  

I think (?) Martin Imber was mending keys - switches anyway - he seems to know a fair bit about electronics ... might be worth a PM to see if he has any advice ??

[DAVEC]

Thank's anyway entwood and jules for your trouble

We bit confused here so....

What happens when you insert the key in the door and turn ?
Do all the doors lock ?

If you leave the drivers window open and press the lock button down on the door do all the doors lock?

Have you tried another battery in the fob ?

Does your interior light(s) work?

[DAVEC]

The interior light works
 I renewed the battery
  It all central locks by putting the key in the lock but when I unlock it and open the door the alarm goes off every time
Sorry if I dont make it too clear I am not very good at this typing business

[jules]

OK Manual says:

'Syncronysing remote control'
1. Switch on ignition; system will then remain in sync mode for 30 seconds.
2. Briefly press one of the two buttons on the remote control unit when inserting into the ignition lock.
3. The central locking system locks and unlocks to show that the remote control unit has been syncronised.

End of manual entry.

I would try this procedure twice, once with door open and once with it shut.

Tried with door's open and closed and still wont work must be a connection broke in the key somewhere
