keyless entry system fault
Looking for a bit of help, my keyless entry system has developed a fault after changing the remote battery.
The key still unlocks and starts the car but, When I walk up to the car the actuator engages 5 or 6 times before the lights flash and I can open the door. Once inside the car, when you turn the ignition on the actuator engages another few times Anybody had this problem or know whats going on? |

You might have missplaced the buttons when you reassembled the key

try using it taken apart. I suspect that somehow the plastic is pushing the buttons when you squeeze the key or twist it in the ignition to start it.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery from the car and letting it reset?

Does the push to start switch LED flash either amber or green for 15 seconds when you enter the vehicle?

If you approach the passenger side or the hatch, do they unlock properly?

No, neither works. Could it be continuously trying to unlock the rear door? (as it is not opening)

It might be the multiple clicking of the front door that is causing the system to not respond to the other doors. Perhaps the switch on the door handle is internally stuck, so the system is constantly seeing that door as attempting to be opened.

Think its worth stripping the handle down to have a look?

Maybe. It is a bit of a hassle to get to it, but under the rubber square is a small switch. I haven't taken apart the door handle one, but I've taken a hatch one apart.
