Central-locking stopped working🚗

[Fraser-OFG]

Hi guys, my central locking has stopped working recently. Both keys do nothing at all so it's not just their batteries. The problem started with just the drivers side not locking but now both don't lock or unlock.

I recently sprayed some silicone spray into the window seals to stop them squeaking and this happened shortly after. They seem like they might be related?

Does the locking function work when you insert the key into drivers lock ?

Does the central locking work if your using the key in the door? If so I would imagine it's a battery problem

[Fraser-OFG]

It does work in the door but the alarm goes off so I can't keep doing that forever. I'll have another look at the battery but it looked quite new when I checked a few days ago- is there anything in particular I would be able to look out for?

[Fraser-OFG]

Also, I don't think this is related at all but I might be wrong. I had disconnect my interior mirror so the wire is no longer connected to anything. It's my first car and I recently just bought it so I'm still quite new to things and a bit unsure. I don't think it's battery related though because there is nothing else to make me think that.

Right...how much would it be to recode it? Also, would that not cause any problems starting the car or anything like that?

[stoney]

There is a way of recoding thro the speedo best to you tube it but it could be a number of things

Also noticed today that the flashing red light for the alarm was flickering after the car being left for a while

All sounds electrical to me ... you able to check the voltage in the battery ?

I could be totally wrong here but is the remote central locking receiver not housed in the mirror or above it?

[Fraser-OFG]

Yeah man, I took it to a garage today and they thought the same after some diagnostics. Mirror should be back in tomorrow so we'll see if that fixes it.

[Fraser-OFG]

Got it all back together yesterday but still not working and I've checked today that everything is connected together properly. Is it possible to just take out the fuse for the alarm until I can get this fixed or will that affect anything else?

[Fraser-OFG]

Just realised I hadn't updated this. Turns out it was just a blown fuse. Probably the first thing I should have checked but at least it was an easy fix.

[stoney]

Well at least it was a cheap fix
