Keyfob remote not locking doors (beep sound instead)

Dallas · 2nd July 2016, 19:08

Keyfob remote will not lock doors, you just hear the horn alarm beep (as if a window or door was open).

All doors unlock ok using the fob.

All doors trigger the interior light just fine, light comes on and goes off inturn with each door opening and closing.

The interior door lock switch locks all doors.

Bonnet and boot in-turn also triggers the door open 'icon' light on dash.

Checked ECU, no water in bulkhead.

Cheers fellas for any advice offered.

Sounds like the car thinks the drivers door is open? Although that seems strange that the interior light works correctly....

My car will not remote lock if it thinks the drivers door is open

Yes, it is an odd one.

I have searched on the foum and have found many members starting threads about the very same problem, but there is no conclusion or answer to what the problem is.

when I got the car I had this problem, and found beneits thread too. I cannot remember the fuse number, but it was a brown one (7.5 amp?)

to elaborate further, the battery reset worked on mine only until like you, it came to starting the car, it reverted. I wish I could remember the fuse number, but I did go through the fuses to find the blown one. once replaced it has been fine ever since.

I didn't realise that I had an owners manual

I have just checked and found fuse 36 is 'Alternator'.
