Title: Remote Locking
Post by: BC on 28 January 2009, 22:05:24

Hi. My one and only remote key stopped working back in December, having replaced the battery i assumed the fob had given up. I bought a brand new complete key, had it professionally cut, an immobiliser chip installed and programmed. The remote itself was also paired but despite checking I have the right fob (Delphi 3 button / alarm) it will not lock/unlock the doors. It is transmitting and acceped reprogramming but just wont work. Central locking works okay using the key manually. Can anyone shed any light or tell be where the remote receiver lives.

Thanks

Bryan

the central locking module is in the drivers footwell  and behind the plastic trim just below the bonnet catch :y

Will it not syncronise? ..... key in igition, ign turned on & press either lock or unlock ( can never remember which :-/) and it should lock & then unlock the car. You need to this usually after a new battery being fitted in the fob.

As Andy says try re-sync, if you've been pressing the fob a few times away from the car it goes all to pot ;)

Hi guys. Tried the resync with both the new key and the old one which i think i've repaired but no response. Its like the car's not receiving the signal. I suppose both keys could be naff but it seems unlikely.

Did it work when the guy programmed it?

His programming machine confirmed the program was accepted by the new fob and promped to press lock to test, pressing any button though did nothing and the prompt remained. He tested the key was transmitting and it was. The old key always worked till a solder joint on the battery holder failed, i have now had this repaired but this wont work either. Its like the keys are shouting but the car's deaf!!

Hmmm, thinking along lines of faulty driver motor...

Hi bud. Would that not affect just one door? none of them nor the boot respond. The central locking is okay manually.
