central locking key remote not working

Post by Julz »

The key fob for the central locking on my C5 stopped working on Monday. I've tried a new battery but still no joy.

My 2 yr old son did decide to give it a quick wash in the dogs water bowl the week before but I managed to recue it before any water got in and it was working fine for a week so don't think that affected it.

Any ideas?

After changing the battery you might have to pair it with the car. (I did on my Xsara but I don't know about C5's) Have you got the handbook for the car as it will explain in there. For my car it was turn on car ignition (but don't start engine) then press the button on the plip. remove key and try it.

Many thanks Mike, it's the same on the C5. All OK now :)
