Locks are screwed! wtf??
My car will lock from the inside. The transponder on the key will not work to lock the car though. I put the key in the door to lock it and it just spins and won't lock. Ummm...I can't lock my car from the outside at all.
|
Dead battery in the key?
|
lol No, the battery is good in the key. Little red light is still glowing in there. Any other thoughts?
|
Pompous, read through the section in your owners manual about how the key fob "goes to sleep" if the car sits for about 5-7 days. This is a safety feature and is tied into the alarm system. Possibly your key fell asleep.
Could still be a weak battery in the fob too. Don't let the redlight fool ya! :) |
I had no clue about that. thankyou! I'm gonna go down to the garage now and hopefully that will be my solution. (fingers crossed)
|
Check your fuses for the central locking system.
B-8 C-3 E-1 Hope this helps. John |
Tried to reset the key and checked the fuses. No luck w/this. I can lock/unlock w/the button inside the car, but not w/the remote or the key hole still.
|
Tell us more about the key "spinning" when you insert it into the lock. Are you saying it is turning more than 90 degrees in either direction?
|
I can turn it in circles in any direction. Like its not catching on anything.
|
That's the problem, something is broke in the lock mechanism and is probably confusing the electric lock system.
|
...but why would I be able to lock it from inside the car with the button on the dash? Shouldn't the remote on the key still work, just not the actual key?
|
The outside lock needs to be fixed. Are there any marks on it that would indicate that someone tried to force it open with a screw driver? If so your insurance may cover the repair.
I'm guessing that once the lock is fixed, everything will return to normal. |

I had this problem after picking my car up from service. I had to bring it back and they had to re-code some module relating to door locking.
