    Hi,

    My remote central locking has randomly decided to stop working. I press the button and nothing happens at all.

    I can still open the doors using the key and the central locking is still working but just not from the remote.

    I thought it might be the battery but i changed it and its not, i definitely put the right battery in the right way so im compltetly lost as to what =could be wrong.

    anybody any idea? ..did this ever happen to anybody before?

    have you tried your spare key?
    What year and type is it?

    Same thing happened to my bf's car and he googled the car make and model and found a way of reprogramming the key.

    Could be the transmitter or the reciever - easily verified by trying the spare key.

    What make and model is the car?

    Thanks for the replies. Ok, so seems to be common enough problem.

    Its a mazda 323f 2.0v6. I dont actually have a spare key fob to test it so i can see if its the transmitter or not.

    Hopefully it can be fixed, remote c/l is great to have. :(

    is a common enough thing to happen. most times the battery goes dead and can loose its memory, some cars there is a process of reprogramming but some cars will require a computer to do this. with an opel you can put the key in the ignition after changing battery and turn on the ignition and press one of the buttons a few times and will work again. otherwise the remote could be faulty. search on google for a way to reprogramme a mazda 323 remote.
