Central Locking Problem

Hi, hope you guys can help me with this one.

The battery went flat on my 255 the other week, so i plugged in the trickle charger and all was well again, except with the central locking.

The key fob button (on ether key) no longer locks or unlocks the car - nor does the key-hole in the passenger door (it just locks the passenger door) but the central locking works fine with the button on the dash.

Any thoughts on how i can fix it?

Cheers,


Andy.
 
Looks like a sync problem between the key and the "transpondeur" (don't know how to translate)

I guess you'll need to go to your local dealer to solve this problem.
 
I think the manual has a re-setting procedure, check the owners manual in the knowledge base - I have a feeling it is mentioned there.

Maybe also in a post. I will try and dig it out later if you can't find it ...

Good Luck!

Contact coupé :

1 Effectuer un appui maintenu de quelques secondes sur le bouton de condamnation des portes centralisées jusqu à ce que les portes se condamnent et se décondamnent.
A partir de cet instant, l’opérateur dispose de 10 secondes pour effectuer l’opération suivante.
NOTA : les 10 secondes pourront être visualisées par l’allumage fixe du voyant rouge antidémarrage.
2 Appuyer deux fois sur la télécommande (les portes se condamnent et se décondamnent et le voyant rouge s’éteint).
NOTA : si les deux télécommandes (si équipé) sont désynchronisées, il sera nécessaire d’effectuer deux procédures de resynchronisation (une pour chaque télécommande).
3 La procédure est terminée – vérifier le bon fonctionnement de la condamnation des portes.

In English maybe? :D

Ignition off:

1 Press and hold the central door locking button for a few seconds until the doors lock and unlock. From this moment, the operator has 10 seconds to carry out the next operation.
NOTE: the 10 seconds are shown by the illumination of the red immobiliser warning light.
2 Press the remote control twice (the doors lock and unlock and the red warning light extinguishes).
N.B.: if both remote controls (if fitted) are desynchronised, two resynchronisation procedures will have to be carried out (one for each remote control).
3 The procedure is complete - check that the doors lock correctly.
 
Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, that's not worked, there is still nothing coming from either key.

Might it be something in the wiring from the infa-red sensor? Has anyone had a look at theirs before?

Thanks,


Andy.
 
Hey Guys,

Success! I managed to fix the problem and thought i would post up the solution in case it happens to anyone else.

All I had to do was disconnect the car's battery, reconnect a few seconds later and the key fob, central locking, alarm and emobiliser worked like new!

Job's a good-un. :)
