Central locking not working with either fob - 28/12/2017 21:59
When I press the unlock/lock button on either fob (the one that's always been used as well as the spare one that's never been used until now), the red lights on both fobs flash but the car doesn't unlock.
Both doors do unlock together when I open the driver's door with the key, but of course the red dashboard light stays on.
This is after fully charging the battery again from flat after a long time, if that could be causing a problem? I'm starting to think doing this causes a different electrical problem each time? I remember now that at one point after charging it up, the car wouldn't start with any key, then the next time I charged it up, it seemed to work ok!
Could a battery in this condition cause problems with the link between the fob and the car?
Or is this something totally different?
Thanks.
