Strange issue with keyless locking and fobs

[ubersonic]

Hi, so over the past days I've had this reoccurring issue, it affects both of my key fobs and I have put new batteries in each to no avail.  Sometimes when I try to get into the car with the key in my pocket it wont open via the keyless entry, but if I take out the fob and hold it against the window the red light flashes and I can then put my fingers on the handle and it will work.  Likewise sometimes when I get out the car and tap the black button on the handle to lock it nothing happens, if I try holding the key to the window as above and trying when it flashes the car instead beeps at me and refuses to lock (have to use the physical key).

Any ideas? :S

 

Thanks

Hi James,

Could be suffering what myself and other folk have also encountered. Check out the following recent post:

If my key fob is in my pocket near my mobile phone I cannot unlock my car. Hope this helps.
