Hey, firstly I have done a search for this but still can’t find a solution to my problem so I hope you guys can help before I go bleed money to a dealer, the problem is I have a remote central locking key that works when starting the car or opening the door manually however the actual remote locking won’t work.
I have tried changing the battery, opening the fob up to see if the ?motherboard? is damaged (as far as I can tell no.) and the resetting technique? I think! (One key in the ignition and the 'broken' key in the outer door lock). But none have worked and to add the small red led on the key does light up when a button is pressed.
After a preliminary phone call to my local dealer they made an assumption that the solenoid has gone so I then took it to my local garage who upon checking says solenoid is fine but the key needs reprogramming. I don’t know a great deal granted but if the key is not programmed correctly it can’t start the car? Not sure what’s wrong and want to try everything before forking out £150 for a new key.
Thanks for any help.
