Does the actual car battery have charge in it?

[jordan]

yes,everything in the car run very well, the car start easily, if I put the key on ACC the radio work, everything work like they should, just the remote doesn’t seem to connect to the car

Does normal central locking work? If not its fault with car maybe only fuse. Check fuses anyway. Check your key programming instructions again, maybe ask dealer for instructions if you can only found them on internet. Test remote with another battery. Test with another remote. If it still doesnt work the fault is with the car.

I try with 2 remote,different battery,try to reprograming my remote a few time with instruction, the switch for the door lock in the car doesn’t work, but the remote was working for the doorlock but like a month a good it’s stop working, I know the it’s not the problem of the motor for the doorlock simply because I have an aftermarket remote( for starting it remotly) but the remote it’s so cheap it work like 1 in 10 time( the light on the remote light when it’s work) 🙁

So central locking switch inside the car doesn’t work. Does central locking work from door with key? Did the car even have central locking from factory?

[jordan]

I don’t know I think yes, but yeah, I can lock my door with the key

If the power locks aren’t working, they won’t work with the remote either. If indeed the power locks aren’t working, repair that issue first and then recheck for the problem. Keep us posted.

but the problem is that the switch in the door doesn’t work for like 6 month but the door lock was working with the remote, now it’s doesn’t work ?? I don’t know what to check first ( I check the basic thing like battery,look if the remote is program…) :unsure:

As I said, do what you can to diagnose the door locks before you worry about the remote. If the door locks can’t work with the switch, they can’t be expected to work with the remote. You might want to track down a service manual to help you in your diagnosis. At the very least you’ll need a wiring diagram for the lock circuit. More information here.

Good luck.

[jordan]

[jordan]

[college man]
