Central locking key fob suddenly stopped working

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

Central locking key fob suddenly stopped working

Post by Sagwala »

Hi, as title, My key fob has suddenly stopped operating the CL. All CL operates perfectly manually.
Have changed the battery in key, no joy.
Any ideas please?

Might need re synchronising with car, Instructions are in owners handbook, or do a search on here. If you cant find instructions I will post on here when the wife comes back with car later today.

In my handbook it says:

Press large button until light stops flashing
Release the button and light should be on continuously
Press the button twice near the vehicle
Switch the ignition on for at least 3 seconds
Switch ignition off
The remote control is now operational


Mine is a 2000 hdi estate

I believe there are other variations of keys/programming but I am sure the very knowledgeable people on here will help you out if you still have problems
