remote key fob not locking car · doors wont lock together
Pressing the lock/unlock button on the key fob or interior switch does not lock or unlock all doors together, or does nothing at all.
Try replacing the key fob battery first - it is a cheap, five-minute fix and a very common cause.
Safe to drive, but treat it as a security priority - manually check all doors are locked when parking until it is fixed.
