I only have one key, a master key, the little red light is comin on when I press the button, but the car won't unlock, its outside my house so i know theres nothin to interfere with the signal

Try replacing the Battery in your key- should fix the problem, unless your key has stopped talking to your car for some unknown reason?

[Rory]

the batteries are only a month old, i've just been walking round my car for ages pressing the button and it finally opened, so i'm securing it with a steering lock and the key only til I get it sorted, i'm off to Lexus bolton to see when they can sort it for me, might aswell get a new key too, just incase

New key, that will cost you :o

[Parthiban]

I had this same problem where I had to click the button loads of times before it would open, changed the Battery and everything's fine. Tried all three of my keys as well and they all did the same thing.

If your battery's only a month old it's unlikely, but I'd still try changing it first just to make sure, as every other solution is very expensive.........

[Rory]

Lex gave me a new Battery and all is well, dunno why the other only lasted a month, new key is £120, lol,

said no thanks

its sorted, i'll sort a key out in the near future, the key is kept in the house, nowhere cold, the following day it was bein tempremental, only opening the car when I was holding it at the rear screen, today it seems fine again

[bridgerippa]

it's important not to touch both sides of a button Battery at the same time- ie +/- as it runs it down.

also a thort on intermittent key fob- is the casing together correctly? it maybe that there is too much space between button and transponder gubbins.

[Rory]

It would now appear that the problem may not lie with the car, since i'm off work this week and driving to random places, the fob seems to be working fine everywhere apart from outside my house

Have you had a mobile mast mounted outside by any chance mate? There is one at the foot of our road and has had an effect on television interference.

[Rory]

I dunno, i've not had a proper look, its doin my nut in tho, cos it only seems to be my car thats affected, I had to set the alarm off again and then drive down the road and try it again this mornin

[SHAHZ]

I had the same problem last week mate thread im pretty sure that it was my house alarm, played up for a few days and then all of a sudden it went back to normal.........there seems to be a few members experiencing this lately

[treats]

I get this same problem when parking at the Trafford centre in a certain carpark area. It locks after about 4 attempts then it plays silly beggers when you try to unlock it. I end up just using the key to get in which sets off the alarm at this point panic sets in and im swearing my head off cursing the car and everyone is looking at you as if your trying to half inch it!

Anyone else suffer this at the trafford centre?

[loggyboy]

I had this, but it was nothing to do with the key, it was the fact the ignition barrel was allowing me to remove the key without being in the off position. It came out when in accessory position!

[Unregistered_User]

Nope, never had that at the Traf to be honest... I've heard of the problem being experienced outside numerous Police Stations.
