Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, One of my keys has stopped operating the central locking using the transmitter button on the key. My wife unlocked it normally, drove to the shops and locked it but when came back to the car was unable to open the car with the remote button. She had to open it with the manual key and that of course triggered the alarm until she turned on the ignition. Here is what I know: 1. The red LED is flashing as it should (at the same rate as the working key) but the car is not responding. 2. The key is used regularly and was working OK earlier that day. 3. I tried a new battery in the key but it made no difference. 4. I turned on the ignition with the key, then turned off, removed the key and pressed the button within 6 seconds to re-sync the remote but this did not fix it. Any thoughts? Cheers, B

If you remove the battery in the remote and insert it the wrong way round, then fit it correctly, it resets the remote and enables the 'lost' connection between transmitter and receiver. Seems a strange thing to do I admit and I was sceptical when advised but it worked for me. Dave Jones
