key remote just stopped working , changed the batteries still not working, any ideas?

 

After checking all the fuses are good the first place I would check would be in the boot. Lift up the carpet and peer down the edges of the foam inserts, particularly on the driver side. The central locking module is under there, its also where water collects. Have a search on the forum there are lots of thread s about it.

Do the locks work if you turn the key in the drivers side lock? If so it would be a receiver/transmitter problem and if not the lock system itself has a problem.

 

no they dont lock with the key. they do lock when moving off and unlock with the dash switch.

 

Do the interior lights work ?
If not, then replace fuse 9 in the under hood accessory block and VOILA !
The remote & locks will work again.

 

thanks guys. not had chance to look at it yet

 

bugger!!!! int lights work, all fuses intact??????

 

oh ****!!!!!! read on here about doing a reset by turning on the ignition and leave for an hour or two, well just done that and now the car wont start!!! fires and cuts out straight away get 3 attemps then will not even turn over, disconect the battery and get another 3 attemps!!!!!!!!

I assume the imobilizer is activated now!! any ideas anyone???

 

Well never mind my comment in the other thread.. Think the end result here for others has been new skreem module fun and games with the dealer.. see if they can get that "unique" id from the old skreem before touching anything else.. then you wont have to get new key with it.. they can input that code to the replacement module.

All I can throw in with this.. seems the first time I read about the burn in.. it was 3 hours on the charger and dash lit up.

 

now for some unknown reason the key fob is now opperating the central locking as it should but the car still wont start

 

Exorcism !

 

Latest update car is dead as a dodo can turn the key to start, dash lights up as it should but nothing engine not even turning over No fault codes in the ECU
