e39 remote central locking issue
I went to my car today and unlocked it remotely with my fob as usual, 10 minutes later I left the car and pressed the lock button, to which nothing happened. I thought it was the key at first, but none of the buttons work either whether I'm inside or outside the car. I just happened to get two spare fobs with the car, which I new are working but still nothing :( I have to resort to locking the car with the key now which I just can't live with :P I have no real experience with this kind of problem. I can only presume a module somewhere has given up.
Could anybody shed some light on this? I'd like to get it fixed as soon as possible :)
Thanks for looking.

To be honest I haven't gone near it, was only starting work when it happened and I'm still here :P thanks for the reply I'll have a go at it tonight or tomorrow, I'll let ye know how I get on :)

It could be interference in the location where you locked the car. Try to lock/unlock in another location.
RE: e39 remote central locking issue
Try resetting the key. They need redoing occasionally

Thought that myself but only got a brand new key last June. Two other fobs don't work either :(
I checked the fuse and it was fine. Put in a new one anyway still no difference..
RE: e39 remote central locking issue
Was it the fuse in the boot you checked

Does the button inside the car beside the hazard switch work

Ya it does. Car locks/unlocks fine with the key in the door. The receiver hardly just s**t itself?
