What's the reason for the remote control not responding when locking the car?
2 Answers
Remote control not responding when locking the car is related to the vehicle and battery. Here are the specific details about the remote control not responding when locking the car: 1. Reasons: Strong magnetic field interference signals around the car; vehicle malfunction; dead battery or poor battery contact; aging antenna of the car's remote transmitter; failure of the time control module in the remote key. 2. Solutions: Check the battery circuit or replace the battery; inspect the condition of aging wiring; if the remote key doesn't work, use the mechanical key to lock the car; check the lock block and the condition of open or short circuits in the control wiring; park the car in a different location and try again to avoid magnetic field interference signals.
I've encountered the issue of remote key fob failure several times, and it's always quite frustrating. The first time was in an underground parking lot where the remote didn't respond no matter how many times I pressed it. Later, I realized there was too much signal interference in that area, and the car couldn't receive the signal at all. The second time, the battery was dead—the remote's light wouldn't even turn on—but replacing it with a new one fixed the problem. If you run into this situation, I recommend first checking if all the doors are properly closed, as sometimes an unsecured trunk or window can trigger sensor errors. Then, try moving to a different location, like an open parking lot, to rule out interference. Next, check the battery model in your remote; it's usually a CR2032, and replacing it with a new one costs just a few dollars. If the problem persists, manually lock the doors to ensure security before considering a visit to a repair shop to check the central locking system. Avoid dismantling the car yourself to prevent unnecessary expenses.
