HELP! Car won't lock

Postby Sadret89 » Fri Mar 09, 2012 8:57 pm

Drove to work and parked up ok this morning.

Got in and drive home this evening, tried to lock the but interior light double flash as if a door was open.
So I opene and slammed shut all the doors including boot and bonnet, nothing.

I've taken off the battery and fuses, no luck.
When I'm driving it does lock, but not stationary.
I've tried to lock with both cards, no luck again.

Can anyone help?

The only thing I can think of is that both keycard batteries are dead. They are not required to start the car. The auto-locking feature would take care of the locks when moving. It might sound fanciful, but stranger things have happened... Try replacing the batteries in the cards. It might help and is inexpensive.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Doesn't it lock by itself after a period of time, after being left?

Not if you open and close a door. This might explain things... Good point though!

So far its working ok *touch wood*. so its ok for now. Paul @ Renault Parts Direct said he's going to ask the workshop if they have come across something like this before.

But its strange it stopped working for 2 hours and then was ok again.
