Hiya all.

 

My key fob won't open the doors.... not even the boot.....

 

It will lock all doors....

 

When I have manually inserted the key to open the driver's door and you can hear the other doors unlocking.... but then you open the door/doors/boot the alarm goes off!!

 

Is it a daft thing like changing the key fob battery? Or does it need a new battery? 

 

The strange thing was when I eventually got my back door to open with a replacement mechanism, and reconnected the battery - my window wouldn't open.... so I turned it off, flicked the key in the barrell 2-3 times, then started the car - and all working again.... and touch wood 🪵 still working.

 

Thanks all in advance 👊👍

 

PS You gotta love Skoda's 😂🤣😂

 

Sounds like the unlock button of the fob is your problem. Not sure how easy it would be to replace the switch that the button clicks.

Cheers as always Pete 👍 

Does your second key works as it should? If yes then your current fob somehow gave up its spirit. 

 

Does the led on the key fob blinks when you press the unlock button ? If yes then you might have some split cables are n driver's door wires within the plastic bellows. If it does not blink, then it somehow gave up its spirit. 

 

Both buttons have a microswitch underneath the cover. The easy and lucky fix is to open the fob and give it a shot with contact cleaning spray. 

 

I do not know how easy is to replace it as i think is welded on the electronic board of the key. Maybe an electronic technician can do it.  

is it the same with the spare key?
