I have just cleaned my car opened the car with my alarm key I mean with the remote, After hoover polishing the car. I Could not lock the car. The remote is not responding at all. I have locked the car with key , But the red light on the driver side door is not flashing either !!
Can anyone help me here what went wrong by just cleaning the car ??
When I opened the car in the morning with remote it was fine only this happened after cleaning, When I tried to lock the car ..
Any Idea what's gone wrong please........
Ah forgot to mention None of the windows, mirrors, or interior lights are not working either.
The light on top of the sun visor that comes on but is very dimm.
Any Ideas guys?????????????

As rhyso said have a look a fuse no 14. The fuse box is drivers side, end part of the dash :wink:

yup it's the fuse, did this myself a couple of weeks back, it's a 10amp (cant remember what number though :embarassed: )
-
according to the thread on ukmkivs he's fixed it but hasn't said how :huh:
its fuse 14 btw - blown it a number of time myself!! have a box of the damn things in the glovebox on standy :laugh:
-
It was the fuse mate!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fuse Ive changed was not blown at all but by just changing it all wen t back to normal.
Only the thing is my alarm fob is not working do I have to reprogramm it is there any other way of doin.
At the moment I am locking the car with the key light starts flashing on the door card , But when I open the car with key alarm goes off , Quickly i have to put the key in the ignition barrel then it's fine.

cool
have a search; there's a procedure to resync your remote with the car; you need a spare remote though
also - no need for the red highlight - makes it a little hard to read your posts :wink:

try the following
1. Place your first key into the ignition and turn to the second notch (do not start the car)
2. Now close the door and place your second key into the handle lock
3. Turn the key to the lock position and let it spring back to the central position.
4. Hold down the Lock button on your new remote, you may hear a bleep from the car
5. Now unlock the car using the key in the barrel and remove, then take your first key out of the ignition
6. Close the door
7. Your remote should now be coded
