Central Locking
Hello all;
Have a problem with the central locking from the keyfobs on my October 2002 X type.
If the car has sat for a while there's no problems, but if you try it after just a short journey, or say you just stopped to go into a shop for 2 minutes, when you try the fob there is no reaction at all - lock/unlock/lights on etc.
Neither of the keyfobs works when this happens. (Both had the batteries replaced a month or so ago).
You can still open with the key, and of course risk the alarm sounding if you don't start straight away.
If you start the car then switch off, it seems to reset the problem and the fobs work again.
Any ideas anyone? Is there a receiver unit for the remotes that is failing, or could it be something else?

RE: Central Locking
Yeah take both fobs to your local dealer there was recall on them and they either reprogram or replace them, they had to for me...but they must have both to do it...if that doesn't work also keep in mind that the door on the ignition that the key pushes needs to be closed whenever you pull your key out to lock the doors, otherwise your car still thinks your keys are in the ignition, you can lube that up if its sticking...doubt its your problem more than likely just need to be fixed by a dealer, they also shouldn't charge you for it as its a known problem...good luck
