locks wont operate

nikolas pipas · 06-02-2007, 01:01 PM

I've had no problems with the central locking until this morning. The car locked fine the night before but this morning locks wouldn't open. It's got factory fitted remote central locking and alarm system. My S3 has no locks !!! So, I'm dead !!!!!

I thought it may have been the remote battery (I've replaced them) in the key fob but I've tried the spare key fob but still no joy.

Any help appreciated, thanks. SOS

Do you have more than one remote.Can you hear any hissing noises.Do the indicator lights flash.If the answer to all these is no and you have no door barrels i would say pick your window

YEs, I do have a seconf remote, but It was never on working order...... There is no noise at all. The indicator light does flash !!! I do have door barels but, the ones that are hidden through the door inner cover level. I thought about the window solution, but there is a factory installed alarm which will never allow me to start the car !! Any other idea ?

You should still be able to start the car.
