...if you let your car sit for 5 days without unlocking it you must manually unlock the door...if that doesn't work try cleaning the sensor areas on the dash and interior roof light, make sure to try both keys to rule out a malfunction in the key.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Suddenly (this is always the case) my key doesn't want to lock my car any longer Batterie is strong (and I still replaced it)...the led on the key keeps flikkering (when I press the button) but nothing happens! Anybody any answers before I drop $400 for a new key..... car: 911/996 1999 cab tip

POST 2Original post

...if you let your car sit for 5 days without unlocking it you must manually unlock the door...if that doesn't work try cleaning the sensor areas on the dash and interior roof light, make sure to try both keys to rule out a malfunction in the key. if it still doesn't work try disconnecting your battery (ground first) and reconnect after 10 minutes. you'll need your code for your radio after you do this. if all that doesn't work you might have to bring her in.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for the info...I am driving it almost everyday....it is a wast to let it sit in the garage. I only have one key...so I can't check ..I will clean the sensors and as a last resort disconnect the battery..kind of a hard reset I guess? and yes if that doesn't work....opening the wallet at the dealer...

POST 4Original post

Sometimes the key fob simply goes bad. I would try and new battery and clean out any dirt and debris. If that doesn't work you likely need to replace it. Oh, one other thought... how old is the car battery? Sometimes an older weaker car battery can cause these unpredictable results.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
