Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of help with a central locking problem. Yesterday and always the car has locked and unlocked with the remote fob. Wife took the car out today and came back saying it wouldn't unlock with the fob. Had to use the door lock. I have searched the forum and manual and tried the recommended process. No joy. The car will lock, remote boot opening and remote window closure. All working fine but will not unlock. Tried the spare key. Same fault. Does anyone have any thoughts what it could be and any tips on anything else to try? (Wife now banned from driving the car)

Maybe the unlock microswitch in the remote has failed?

New battery?

Sorry. Should have said. Replaced both key fob batteries. It's just strange that its only the unlock part that has stopped working.

Never tried it but..........

He's tried 2 different remotes so tbey'd both have to have unlock microswitch missing from PCB. I suggest getting somebody to check car wuth VCDS

Popped into my local dealer and explained my problem. I was met by a sharp intake of breath and a shake of the head with a response of " we will probably have to take out your seats and carpets and find the broken or corroded wire". Ehhh. Ok. Don't think I will bother booking it in there for diagnostics.
