I've just bought a 2006 c3 but I cant lock it. The key fob only seems to work when im inside the car and I can only lock the driver door with the key

Any ideas

Hi Remo

Have you tried a new, fresh battery in your remote?
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:

Its sounds almost too obvious, but easily missed.


Is the problem the same for both fobs - after 2 new batteries?
