Car not locking with key?

Post by Shaunbains »

Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me with a problem I've had for a while now. My B6 key dos not lock/unlock the car. It used to automatically lock after a while when parked but just stays unlocked. The key lights up and seems to be sending a signal, a local auto electrition checked this when I took it in about 18 months ago to see if he could fix the problem and reset my air bag light. Charged me £30 to reset light (is that price about right?) this needs resetting again🙄 Just came on by itself about 6 months ago. Is there a reset tool available for this? Anyway he said I would need to see a specialist as he did not have the equipment to do it.
Just some more info, if I use the emergency key the car locks and red LEDs come on. If I then use the emergency key (I only have 1 key)to unlock the indicators flash (alarm siren not working I think?) and only turn off when I put key in ignition.
It's been a good car for the past 7 years but with 185k on the clock I don't want to be spending £££££ to fix it as want to change to B8 model next year😎
Any help much appreciated.
I've in the past had to change the box inside the drivers door as the alarm used to go off and car would say drivers door open but that was a few years ago.
I have in the past tried disconnecting the battery, pressing numerous buttons on the remote but no joy😞
