Drivers door locking button...

Postby moon_monkie » Thu Dec 10, 2009 9:01 am

Hi All, the drivers door locking button (keyless entry) only works sometimes to lock the car (no pattern to when it does/doesn't work either) The unlocking bit works fine. I just wondered if this is a common problem and if so if it's an easy fix? :conf

Ta!

definitely let the next owner sort it out! (As its an expensive fix if a new button (inc. door handle) is needed, approx £250 if i recall)

Don't count on me on this as I can't remember if I've read this before... but the keyless entry system may be able to be re-initialised through Renault Diagnostic software. But most likely it's water ingress into the button itself, requiring a new door handle. Either way, both 'solutions' require a visit to Renault - not cheap!

Keyless entry buttons are a common failure, yes. Replacing the button is a DIY job and the part isn't very expensive. About £30-ish if I remember but I'll have to check. If you decide to replace it then let me know and I'll post a guide.

Hi, any chance of posting the guide for this anyway as mine's given up the ghost and works sporadically. Also any idea on the part number for the button?

you can actually take the button out of the handle,strip down the button (really easy)then go to maplin or similar and get yourself a new microswitch of the same size (around 70p iirc) fit that into your button. bob`s your uncle.

turns out this is definitely cheaper than what I said! (£250!!)

I don't have handsfree entry on my Megane, and the last post I looked at/participated in was well over three years ago! Three years later and out comes a cheap fix, all thanks to members of this forum. :cool:

hi, i have a similar problem, however i have all four buttons sticking, just got back from my local(ish) renault indy, very helpful, and been quoted about £70 per door,,,,( i think the part is £15 +vat and labour ) also no point just changing one, cause the others would still be stuck..........so £300 fix.................................
suddenly having to use the keyfob doesn`t feel such an inconvenience.
if somebody DOES have a guide to d.i.y. i would love to see it and have a go myself.

cheers
