SOURCE: key fob will not undo

If you don't have one that works for the vehicle now, you'll have to take it to your local dealer to have it programmed to the vehicle. Some will charge for this, some will do it at no charge.

If you do have a remote that is programmed and working for the vehicle, then the following steps will allow you to program another remote:

1. Enter vehicle and close all doors.

2. Put seatbelt on (or clip it into the buckle) to shut the warning buzzer off.

3. Put key in ignition, turn to run position but don't start it.

4. Press and hold the unlock button on the working key fob and hold for 4 seconds, then also press the panic button.

5. Release both buttons and you should hear a single chime to indicate it is in program mode. You have 30 seconds after the chime to program any additional remotes you want to program.

6. Press and release both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously on the remote you are programming. You should hear another single chime.

7. Within 4 seconds after hearing the chime, press either lock or unlock button on remote that you are programming.

SOURCE: Boot will not unlock with the remote button from key fob

Yes, this is what makes the Germans so cool!

Step one, replace battery in key foob. If that doesnt work proceed to next step.

Your BMW has a central locking system overide solution.

insert your main key into the driver door. before turning the key lift the door handle as if your opening the door, then turn the key all the way clockwise....it should go further than it ever has....it should make all the door latches POP! If this doesnt work, Try it while turning the key counterclockwise.

If this doesnt work, make sure you have your radio code and take off the negative battery cable overnight on your car. Then attach it after 12 hours and repeat above steps.

This should work, this is what they will do at the dealer and charge you about $700 :-)

How to open a stuck Back hatch on 2007 Suburban?


Open Stuck Back Hatch


Donald Devine
How to open a stuck Back hatch on 2007 Suburban?

There are a few things you can try to open a stuck back hatch on a 2007 Suburban:

Check the battery in the keyless remote. If the battery is low or dead, the remote may not have enough power to release the latch.

Check the latch itself for any debris or obstruction that may be preventing it from releasing.

If the latch seems to be working properly, try manually releasing it by pulling on the emergency release handle inside the vehicle.

If none of the above steps work, it may be a problem with the power liftgate module or actuator and you should take it to a mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

Lubricate the hinges of the hatch door with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure the door opens smoothly.

2009 Expert. remote fob not working. The central locking will not work with the key, only the drivers door locks. Worried because I'll have to leave the van open over night.

Try replacing the FOB battery. Check the fuse for door locks. usually located in the engine bay fuse box. Temporarily you can lock the other doors from inside the van and lock the driver door last using the key. Another possibility is that the locking switch in the driver door is faulty or the central locking motor is. All other doors will only lock if the driver door locking system works. When you lock the driver door, the locking motor will hit a switch that will lock the other doors.

Back hatch won~t open with remote or inside door locks will open manually nothing stuck or jammed?

Found this wiring diagram for lift gate, if that is what we're talking about? Not only check the fuses, check fuse circuit for voltage. Use a testlite.

My Prius will not lock with remote control. Locks apply and reopen immediately in my prius

Check for one of the door-open switches to be misadjusted. If the door ajar lamp is lit, the remote locking system will not work. Also check that a second key-fob is not inside the car. The smart locking system will not allow you to accidentally lock the key fob inside the car and will cycle the lock back to the unlocked position immediately if the fob is sensed by the inside-the-car sensor(s).

Vw golf mk4 my rear passenger door willnot open with central locking key system. i can't even open it from the inside, pull the door handle and the lock pin rises but door won't open. i believ

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

My battery is dead and I was told of a key inside of the remote to get in above the license plate key hole, but I can't find the key inside the remote. How can I get into my car?

A key should have come with the key FOB used to open rear hatch, lock glove box and center console. If don't have that key, you can jack car up, apply power to positive terminal of starter and a chassis ground, and the FOB should work.

My back hatch door doen't want to open

You need to climb in the back and remove the plastic panel from the hatch to access the lock. There may be a small access door over the locking mechanism to help you avoid removing the whole thing. Could be dirty and sticky and fixable with a bit of graphite lube.
