The reasons why the Wuling Hongguang mini cannot be locked are as follows: 1. Remote key locking: It is very likely that the remote lock is malfunctioning or the antenna of the car's remote transmitter is aging, causing the remote key to not work. In this case, you can use the spare mechanical key to lock the car. 2. Magnetic signal interference: Another situation is that there is strong magnetic signal interference around the car. Since the smart key uses low-intensity radio waves, it cannot work properly under magnetic interference. 3. Extended information: The door switch sensing wire (door edge wire) is generally negative-triggered for most models. When searching, set the interior light switch to the door control position, open the side door, and close the other three doors. At this time, the roof light will be on. Use one end of the test pen to ground and the other end to connect to the door switch wire. At this time, the test pen will not light up. When the driver's door side control switch is pressed, the test pen will light up, and the brightness of the roof light will also decrease or turn off.
I just bought a Wuling Hongguang Mini and recently encountered an issue with the car not locking. It took me quite a while to figure it out. There could be several reasons, but the most common one is a dead battery in the remote key—you should check that first and try replacing it with a new one. Sometimes, if the doors, trunk, or hood aren’t fully closed, the sensors won’t detect them, causing the lock to fail. I once had something stuck in the door gap and didn’t notice. Another possibility is a faulty lock mechanism itself, like it being stuck or mechanical parts wearing out, which is more common in older cars. The electronic system could also be the issue, such as a blown fuse or a short circuit in the control module, preventing current from reaching the lock. I’d recommend checking the remote and door closures yourself first. If that doesn’t work, take it to a repair shop as soon as possible to avoid the risk of theft. Developing good habits, like double-checking all details after parking, can reduce the chances of such issues. Also, remember to mention this during regular maintenance—the technician can help inspect it.
