For the past 4 months I have been experiencing very erratic behaviour from my central locking. The car will either refuse to unlock on pressing the key button. I have to unlock the door with the key & on turning the ignition on all the doors unlock, or on turning the ignition off and removing the key doors unlock as expected, but when I try to lock the doors when leaving the car, I press the button on the key & nothing happens. If I then open the door put the key in the ignition turn on & off (not starting engine) remove key & close the door it will then lock on the remote [13].
I rang my dealer... Bad move there then, no prize for guessing the response... No Sir we've not come across that before. So I asked that they made a record of the problem on the cars record, we can't do that we don't keep records [1], but don't worry just bring it in and we'll have a look at it. But it's intermittent... Hmmm well see how you get on [27] need I say more. I've been making a note of when it happens, but there's no common thread & it's only doing it about 8 times a month. The only thing I haven't tried is changing key for the spare, might do that this week.
Anyone else had a similar problem?
