Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Central Locking Remote (Does Not Work)

Post by stuart304 »

I recently purchased a 2001 406 LX.
When I come to collect the car I found that the drivers door lock did not work (it just turned freely).
I also realalised that the remote did not work. I informed the salesman and he said bring it back and it will be repaired FOC.
Took car back. Two new door locks were fitted and a new remote key was supplied.
The new key would not start the car. The display read immobaliser fault.
The remote also would not unlock the doors.
Luckily I still had my original key so I was able to unlock the car manually and start it.
I then spoke to the garage. They informed me that I would have to take the car into Peugeot to have the new key reprogrammed. I had a look at my owners hand book and there was a procedure to reprogram the key but it did not work for me. It mentioned a security card that should be with the car. I do not have one. My question is do I need to go to Peugeot to reprogram my keys or is there a DIY solution.
Thanks in advance for any possible help you can give me.

No man, you'll have to go back to peugeot to program the key, and if you don't have the code they will order it from france depending on your VIN.
