Why can't the remote key lock the car?
1 Answers
If the remote key cannot lock the car, it may be due to insufficient battery power in the remote key, and replacing the battery should resolve the issue. When the vehicle is parked in an area with electromagnetic interference, the remote key may also fail to lock the car. Mechanical failure in the door lock mechanism can also cause this situation. If you frequently experience issues with the remote lock not working in a particular location, be cautious of door jammers, as some criminals use radio signal blockers that emit electromagnetic waves at the same frequency as the locking signal, thereby disrupting the electronic code of the car's central locking system and temporarily disabling it. When the weather turns cold, some grease inside the remote may become sticky, leading to poor contact and causing the car remote lock to malfunction. Car owners should properly store their car remote keys to prevent oil or dirt from entering.
