My fob stopped working recently, I can only lock and unlock the driver door using the key.
When I drive I can hear all doors locking so I guess there is no (mechanical) problem with the mechanism.
I tried 2 fobs and new batteries but no luck...

Is there anything else I can try?

Any advise welcome...

Try locking remotely from within the car, the drivers seat to be precise

The locking 'receiver' is in the COM2000 - stalk control unit.

You could have 2 faulty fobs?

The fobs may have become out of sync with the car. Try to re-synchronise the original keys to the car.

Have you tried re-reading the suggestions given to you and tried those?
