Key fob long press problem

Featured Replies

Hi All,

On this warmish day, I tried for the first time this year, a long press on the fob unlock button and found that it no longer opens/closes all windows on approaching/leaving the car. I checked opening & closing settings and all doors and all windows are set to open, where they've always been set since new. I tested central locking and all four driver's window buttons, and everything works as it should. After trying Swimbo's fob with same result, that's exhausted my investigation.

It's not the end of the world, but any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Just bear in mind I'm old & moderately disabled and getting in and out of the car is about my limit, so don't ask me to start removing door trims etc!

I'll leave an apple on the sideboard for anyone who comes up with a solution!

Thanks

Does one touch window open/close work on ALL windows? - that's a pre-requisite for the long press to work.

If it doesn't then you need to reset one touch by the usual hold the switch down when the window(s) fully open and fully closed.

Hi PetrolDave,

Thanks for your reply, please note 4 windows & 4 doors used to open/close on long press open/close fob buttons all the time in 7½ years I've had the car from new. Hopefully I've followed your instructions correctly, here's what I did:

1 Long pressed fob open button (all 4 doors unlocked - all 4 windows remained closed - as per my post

2 Opened driver's door, opened all 4 windows on driver's window controls, closed driver's door and long pressed fob open button (to reset it?)

3 Closed all 4 windows on driver's window controls, closed driver's door, long pressed close button (to reset it?) & all 4 doors locked

4 Waited 30 secs, then long pressed fob open button, all 4 doors unlocked, BUT all 4 windows still remained closed

Thanks for your help & instructions, I'm sorry I'm late in replying to you. Should you reply, please note I won't be able to respond until Monday

Resetting the one touch does NOT involve the fob, only the window switches on the door - and the door does not have to be open just the ignition on.

You're making it far too complicated!

Resetting the one touch window function just requires you to lower the window, then bring it back up, holding it for ten seconds or so.

That said, IIRC, the convenience opening still works if one of the windows has an out of sync end stop (one touch).

Is convenience opening still selected on your infotainment?

It seems unlikely the windows would stop working for one touch - have you had a battery change/update recently?

I wasn't too sure what I was doing, but after reading your replies & a bit of following my nose, I have now got all 4 windows back to opening & closing on the fob, so PetrolDave & OccyVRS: thanks very much for your help.
