Central Locking & Key Fob Promlems!!! Please HELP!!!

[Dan n Nic]

Hi, I am a newby owner of a MK4 Golf Gti Turbo. I have had it less than a week and the remote locking has stopped working with both fobs. I have changed the batteries in one of them as this seemed the obvious cause, but it didn't work. I have also noticed that the LED that usually flashes in the drivers lock has also stopped working. I can lock the car using the key, but when I then unlock it and open the passenger door the alarm goes off. I have also checked the fuses and they are ok. Please help as this has taken the shine off of owning a Grrreat car!!!

Tks Dubbz, but I am still at a loss. I think the problem may be more with the car side ofthings as the LED isn't flashing, any more tips would be appreciated!!!

Thanks Guys, I will double check all fuses again in the morning. Something else that I have noticed tonight, when locking/unlocking the car using the key in the door lock, none of the indicators flash etc.. like they do when you use the remote! Any other ideas???

do your electric windows work? does your courtesy light come on when you open the door?

99% sure that it does, but will have to check.
