Central Locking issue

Post by rowlyn » Thu Apr 25, 2024 9:52 am

Hi everyone,

I have a 2004 2.2 automatic Z4, i have an intermittent problem with locking (mostly not working but will occasionally)

So i bought the car as a dooer upper, it had no remote key with it, only the spare emergency standard key. I had a new generic key made and programmed which worked fine, that was about a year ago.

Ive started having trouble with unlocking (locking will always work on the key, the boot also works every time off the key) i have to put the key in the door to unlock it which will only unlock the driver door (passenger and storage compartments remain locked) so to unlock those i press the central locking button inside the car, this is also playing up, when sat in the car i can hear solenoids trying to do something.

My biggest concern is that with the key and interior button not working, i cant get out the car as when i try the door handle, it will lift the lock button but not open the door, as soon as i release the door handle, the button returns to locked position.

Car battery only a year old and fully charged, have also tried new battery in the fob. Any ideas gratefully received :)
