Blip Key

Post by grasmere59 »

Hi all,not been on for a while but did a stupid thing ,left the ignition on for 24hrs 🤦‍♂️,battery was flatter than a flat thing,didn't jump start but trickle charged for 24hrs and all is good except central locking now doesn't work off the remote key fob,will only work if you put the key in the drivers door lock,tried the hold lock on fob ignition on 10secs then off to no avail,any ideas guys?

I thought it was key in the ignition and press for 10 seconds......?
Can't remember the exact way but maybe try a few more times.

I've got into the habit now of never leaving the keys in the ignition, unless I put the driver's window down, ever since my car has a hissy fit once and locked all the doors when I got out and left the keys in.... :roll:
