Toyota Rav4 1996 : car battery changed and since then the remote central locking has not worked from the handset but central locks from the inside using the switch. I have changed the battery in the handset but still not working. The handset has one red and one black switch, and a slider thing on the right hand side. Someone said you have to hold down one of the buttons for 30 seconds but I did this with both buttons and nothing happened. Please help!!!!

SOURCE: MR2 DOOR LOCK

sounds like some one tried to break into your vehicle and jammed the door locking rod this would be the most likley guess since you said motor is still working the rod will need to be pulled out and straightened again to factory bend this is critical

and your switch is on the door panel the one that says lock unlock

Have 2007 Camry had a flat battery now the alarm does not work what do i do. Have to lock the car with they key instead of the remote. I have replaced both batteries but the central locking does not work?

A flated battery would not affect the central lock. Mostly it is due to the improper fitting. The door locks are operated by a solenoid in each door. First check the fuse of the central lock. The fuse boxes are in engine compartment and inside the car under the steering wheel panel beside. In most cases, it is the fuse stall the car. If the fuse is OK, then check the electrical continuity. If you are not car machanic, let the proper car electric specialist to do it for you. For them, it is a very easy and quick job to do. Aso ckeck the battery in the remote if it is porperly fitted. You have to buy a Haynes Workshop Manual for Camry 2007-2011 PN 92009.

2005 toyota corolla verso remote won't unlock

This one you may be stuck paying the 50 dollars but what I would do first is contact the manufacturer of the remote control. I would bet they will help you out. The other option is to go to an after market installer of car alarms that is a bit smaller. They will most likely help you in the hopes of you coming back for further business.

H, I have a toyota KZ-TE 2003. The central locking system has never worked of my remote control, but opened all 4 doors together with the key. The other day I changed the car battery and 3 min later I put...

If a car has an on board computer there is always a risk of creating a problem when the battery is removed.
I would say the previous owner experienced this but chose to ignore it.
The solution is to have the central locking system re-programmed.
You can check with your Toyota dealer the cost for this (Approximately 5 to 10 minutes work) or search the internet for the sequence required.

Fob on my sports trac doesn't work the alrm light flashes and the car turns on okay but i can't lock the car or open it with the remote.I changed the battery but still doesn't work.

If central locking is ok by key then must be the plug from the keyless entry box,also it can be the inside relay (box defect).If the central locking does not work by key ceck fuses.

Toyota matrix remote not unlocking car - battery is new

Check to see if your central locking still works on all doors and that you can also operate the driver's door central lock motor.
This can sometimes be an issue with the door lock motors themselves and not necessarily the key.

How will i repair central locking in 99 toyota yaris on driver side

If all other locks work with the remote and the inside lock switch then the most likely cause is a stuck lock actuator on the driver's door, the door panel should be removed to check and replace it.

Can not lock car by key remote . toyota rav 4 53 plate

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.
