Hi guys,

I read and tried all of the techniques described in this post but still I have two keys that can unlock the car, but not lock it.

The turn-key-five-times trick doesnt have any effect whether I turn it to pos 1 or pos 2

When the car is unlocked only the central locking seems to be affected. The mirrors don't unfold (as usual), and the alarm does not deactivate (ie. no beep).

The two keys have sat around for a month or so unused, so I put them both in the car for an hour each with the ignition in position 1 to charge them, also used the car for a few hours so they should in thoery have been charged, and the fact that they unlock the car (from a good distance), makes me think its not a battery related issue.

For a minute this morning one of the keys was locking and unlocking (with the mirrors fold/unfold and alarm beep), but then stopped working.

I tried disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes to see if I could reset the alarm sequence. but nada.

I'm really out of ideas now. Can anyone think of something else I could try? Seems a bit wierd that both are now kaput, even if they are 7 years old.

Thanks in advance.

Kev.
