Key fob will open car and disarm alarm, but wont lock it ?

I am having an issue with my key fob. I can obviously lock the car with the key in the lock, but I cannot lock the doors or set the alarm with the fob anymore ?


I can unlock the doors and disarm the alarm though so I don't think it is a battery/charge issue

Any ideas people ?

Thank you

Re: Engine Fan, does it work ?

Thank you, I 'may' take a look, but this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with my 'skills' as a mechanic  :(

Re: Engine Fan, does it work ?

Well, I am an idiot, yes I have two fans and the engine driven one works fine. I tried the self test (if it exists) on the front most fan and it never moved. As stated my air con works and is always on, but I have a thought, its only set to 68 degrees, so its not exactly freezing, my next try will b...

Re: Engine Fan, does it work ?

Oh dear, I think I have an issue then
A) I did not know there were two fans (less of an issue just my ignorance)
B) I always run my car with the air con on, and I still have never seen the very front fan spin !!

Engine Fan, does it work ?

How do I check if my engine fan works ?? The water and oil temperature gauges in my car never give high readings. Sometimes when I get out of my car the heat from the engine seems quite noticeable, but I have NEVER noticed my engine fan be 'on' Is there a way to check if it is working or not ? (E53 ...

Re: Scanner 1.4.0 manual or error codes explanation

As stated "I cant believe that all the people that have this scanner purely use it to cancel errors, and/or uncheck functions so that the errors do not re-appear. Surely not everyone has bought one just to 'hide' issues with their car, what is the point of that, unless you are selling it and wa...
