V50 Remote Keyfob requires 3 presses to lock car
Hi all, looking for some help on a weird niggling issue.
On my V50 key I now need to press the lock, unlock, approach light and boot release buttons 3 times in quick succession to trigger the action. This started last week; as I approached my car in the office car park, I pressed the unlock button & nothing happened. I Assumed the battery had died so I touched the key to windscreen as a last resort (Done this in the past when I'd locked/unlocked the car too much) and it opened. I replaced the battery as soon as I got home. Upon reflection there had been multiple key presses in each instance, including testing the new battery. Now the key works as it always has and at long range; it just needs three button presses to lock or unlock! I've not been able to find any mention of this issue on the internet whatsoever. Cheers. |

V50 Electrics : - V50 Remote
The same problem has started for me over the last few days. I can only lock or unlock the car by pressing the key fob three times. Did you ever manage to find a cause/solution?

Weird. It's not RF interference is it?

It returned to normal after about 2 weeks... Not happened since. I can't remember if I tried the spare.

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this? My 2005 S40 2.0D has just started doing it today. No word of a lie, it works perfectly from long range as long as you press the required button 3 times. I'm glad I found this thread as I was doubting my sanity.
