Hi,
I’m starting to have problems with the keyless entry central locking system on my 2016, 500X 2.0 Multijet 4x4 Cross Plus.
When I touch the back of the door handle, the door should unlock. However, it’s stopped working . I have to first pull the door handle towards me, release it, then touch the back of the handle as I used to do for it to work.
When it does unlock, it’s accompanied by strange “clonking” sounds almost as if the central locking is trying to lock and unlock simultaneously (also the indicators are flashing like crazy) After which, the doors will not unlock or lock either with the key fob or with the actual key in the lock. I have to wait around 20 secs before I can lock the doors by pressing the key fob.
I’ve changed the battery on both key fobs and I have tried disconnecting the engine battery overnight. The latter seem to cure the problem for about 5 mins but that’s all.
Also, on occasion, the car doors will unlock as I approach the vehicle without me having to do anything and then the central looking will go bonkers again trying to lock and unlock itself.
Incidentally , I have no problems starting the car. There are no warning lights on. It is purely the central locking that has the problem.
Has anybody else had this? Did you managed to sort it?!
Cheers
John
