Hi,
Got a problem with the central locking on my 172 were after a long journey you get out of the car and the central locking won't activate via the key fob. It works fine from the button inside the car. After leaving the car for about 5 mins the car locks via the key fob fine.
Any ideas what this could be?
Also more rarely, sometimes the key fob does not work when you want to unlock the car so you have to open the door and set the alarm off. If you then close the door start the car and the re-open the door the alarm stops? Weird.
Could this be the receiver or the door locking module? Presumably it's not likely to be the alarm as I believe the central locking sets and unsets the alarm?
Also if it is the receiver or central locking module whereabouts are they?
Lots of questions! Thanks in advance.
Edited to add: Not a problem with the key as I've tried it with both and neither will work when it's playing up.
