Keyless Entry?

Thanks Mannyo, it turns out the rear door works just fine but front door I have to lift twice, so the sensor is probably broken on that one. It does not throw a fault code though.

I can clear these, and they stay cleared until the handle is next used and then the fault recurs.

Ok, cheers.

Is it a new handle job, or just a sensor within it? Any idea how easy a fix it is?

Might just let the dealer sort it the next time it is in under warranty. Not a great loss though as I've never had it working to appreciate the benefit of it!

New handle (or at least fiddling with it from inside). Unless it's the main module, then it's more involved.

Definitely worth a warranty job if you can swing it.

I have warranty on my car so will get it done the next time I'm in with something else.

Bizarrely out of the blue all my door handles have decided to start working properly. I no longer have to lift any of the handles for the door to unlock, just touch them and they unlock. I have no idea why they started working, all I have done recently is change the wiper linkage and motor.

My PF had some gremlins with the keyless which was a result of water ingress, it was always a bit dodgy after it had been raining.. Took the garage months of fiddling to work it out, and about a week and a half to dry the car properly!
