Hi A friend has just bought a Seat Altea XL 57 plate. There is a problem with the central locking system, the remote key fob doesn't work.

The only way to get in the car is via putting the key in the drivers door lock this only opens this door You then have to insert the key in the ignition before the alarm is triggered. the other doors and boot are opened via the console button. The garage have changed the drivers door actuator, Put new batteries in the remote fob and supposedly reprogrammed the fob. Still no remote lock/unlock, they have no ordered a new remote fob. Anyone come across this before? Could the receiver in the locking ecu be at fault? Thanks David

SOURCE: CEntral locking problem drivers door, VW GOld PLus

Actually they area vacume/preshure opparated system.... now if fitted with this crazey system bear with me!!!!!
Open the boot, pull back the lineing to reveal the off side rear lamp cluster, underneath the cluster you will see a black box with a plug and a plastic preshure pipe going to it (this is the vac- air+ preshure pump and electronic control unit.
Now what happens is this the seal on the back light cluster leek rain water in after a while, and guess where it goes? Yes thats right all over and inside the box where al the electronics are! Fantastic ! any way solution is easy just take the box out....take it in the house open it... tip the water out! dry it out in the airing cubard or hair dryer e.t.c. put the lid back on thats it (GOODTHING REALLY SEEN THE PRICE OF THEM?) oh! forgot to say it is in like some grey polystirine in the car to stop it banging about!sugest you re seal the lamp unit with some RTV silicone sealer (Better than the manufacture seals) OH YES THAT BOX ALSO IS THE ALARM CONTROL TOO!
There you go Neil your all sorted!

SOURCE: can not lock car by key remote . toyota rav 4 53 plate

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.

2007 Ford Transit Connect Van. The central locking has stopped working on the fob. I have changed the fob battery and still not working. Does it have a fuse/relay that could be broken?

There is only one fuse that mentions 'Locking', but also refers to the General Electrical Module (GEM). If you change the fob battery, you need to reprogram it to the vehicle. Or you could open any Transit around you. Lots of help below including resetting..

I have a seat altea 2007 . Front door doesn’t open on central locking , even after double clicking bottom button twice . Any advice please

Most likely the door lock latch. It's a separate assembly, parts can be ordered from amazon. Not too hard to install if you're mechanically inclined.

Central locking not working seat altea

Is this with the key in the door or with the key fob remote?
Check the basics first. Is the battery in the remote working? If in doubt replace it with a good quality battery.
Next check the fuse. It should be the fuse box under the dashboard, possibly under the steering wheel. I think it's fuses 49, (10 amp-red), and 50, (25 amp-clear/white).
if these are OK it could be one or more of the servo units in the doors at fault.

I have a 57 plate 3 series,the doors will nit unlock but will lock with the remote,also the passenger door and rear doors have deadlocked,can you help?

Hi , this sounds like the fuse has blown for the central locking due to a hi amp draw from a fault lock , depending on the country that you are in you will need to find the fuse for the central locking , for european cars the fuse will be #57 or #72 it will be a 15amp fuse that will nead to be changed to a yellow 20 amp fuse , once the blown fuse is replaced , insert the romote key in its slot and turn the ignition on , then remove the key , open and close the drivers door and the central locking should then work , if this fault re-occures then 1 or more door lock will nead to be replaced, hope this is of some help , regards mark.

Just bought a 2003 Nissan Navara 2nd hand. Has central locking but no remotes were handed with it, how can i find out if this vehicle has remote central locking or not

The remote should be built into the key. If not the remote central locking would be after-market. After-market remote central locking is part of an anti theft device so the fob you get with the key's has two function's it opens the door and disables the imobliser. If it had a fob and it was'nt with the key's then the ignition would'nt work so the car would'nt start. So it dosent have remote locking. Before giving up check the dash and suround's for a small either green or red light which looks like it was installed after-market if their is one then it still may have remote locking but was disabled for some reason but although it is there unless you really need it don't bother with it because you will need to get it rewired then get a fob which will need to be programed. Hope this help's Cheer's

Does a 1998 v70 come with remote fob for central locking

Should have a key fob.  You can buy a used one and the dealer can program it.  You can not program it yourself.
