I have a Jaguar XJ6 (1990) and the central locking system has gone berzerk.I can't even open the boot now by key or remote.When i lock the car via the remote fob key,at least one door remains unlocked and sometimes the front doors remain unlocked and sometimes the rear....they change of their own accord...Any ideas ?

Hello SPECTORS,

Your lock remote FOB battery is low...
Check out the type of battery...

I am confident OUR (one button) units
look alike... But are not ... HOWEVER
They use the same 12 volt battery

(I experienced slow shipping f/seller here... (but dated)).

ALSO look at...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eveready-A23-Replacement-Battery-A23-Battery-2-Pack/272725424100?hash=item3f7fb3b7e4:g:VmsAAOSwnK9ZQ-zf

The car is trying to WARN you...
You might not be able to get back in...
No programming is needed to change the BATTERY.

Hope this helps...

SOURCE: REAR DOOR LOCK

you either have a faulty central locking motor or the wiring harness may be damaged.
Remove the door panel and check if you have a live feed to the central locking motor when you use the fob to lock or unlock. If you have power, then it will most likely be the motor that is at fault.

SOURCE: Chevy Impala Door lock issue

Which is it, 98 Eclipse, or 06 Impala? Either way, your door lock actuator is stuck in the locked position either electrically or mechaically. The way to check this is to remove the door panel and unplug the actuator. If door lock can now be moved then you have an electrical problem (faulty door lock switch or faulty door lock module). If you still cannot unlock door then actuator is mechanically bad and must be replace (usually the case)

Jaguar x-type 2.5 se problem with remote central locking

Do you smoke in the car? could be that the infra red sensor in the car (usually near the interior mirror) needs cleaning. I bought a Renault Scenic which had same problem, it would only unlock from very close to the car. After trying new battery in the remote I cleaned the sensor and never had any more problems. PS I assume you've tried a new remote battery?

I have a 1999 vw bora, and the boot will not lock/unlock along with the other doors via key fob or inside drivers door button. I always have to use the key to manually open the boot. I've tried leaving...

this could be due to the fact that the boot locking mechanisim may not be responding to the central locking servo it could be a fuse or relay or maybe even to do with the wireing hope it helps but i suggest that you take it to a garage because it can be a number of things and volkswagen should know if there is a common fault with this get in contact with them
