Hiya everyone

I'm noew to the forum so I hope I am posting this in the right place.

I have 56 reg Fiat Sedici 1.6 Elaganza with 9000 miles on it.

The remote control key is only working intermitanly. Somedays after pressing the button on the remote control, it will not unlock the car doors and I have to put the key in to lock to open it. (The idea of remote central locking was one of the reasons I got this car.)

I have to stand an perservere with the key fob for a few minutes to get it to unlock, it does not do it straight aways like it used to.

I have changed the battery in the key fob, but that hasn't helped any either.

Any ideas what it could be?

first determine fi the problm is the key or the car, try using the other romote, or check if the remote's light is flashing when it fails to open the doors.

if it is not the key, i would check if the reciever is connected correctly, loose connectors are still a common problem on modern fiats. the receiver is usally in the interior light asembley.
 
Hi, I've got this problem as well. Seems to be a bit random for me. Sometimes it'll work fine then it'll go through a phase of not opening at all.

Will have a look at the light section as suggested by jug.

Let me know if you've solved it!
 
Sorry if teaching to suck eggs here but the Sedici unlock system means when you press unlock on the key once only the drivers door will unlock. You have to press it twice to unlock all the doors? Just in case you did not realise..........
