nemo_arta Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi guys and girls, i recently bought an aerotop supra and the only way to unlock the car was with the key which works. I havent checked the battery on the key yet but was told on purchasing that the battery was changed and didnt fix the problem. When i unlock the car i can do this from either driverside or passenger side. to simplify the situation heres whats happening: If i unlock from driverside both driverside and passenger side unlock. I cannot lock the car from driverside door. If i unlock from passenger side, only passenger side unlocks (if i remember correctly) I can lock the passenger side door with key but it only locks passenger side not driverside The key fob looks nakered but may need a new battery. I havent tried to lock the car from inside. The car does NOT have an alarm and i need to sus this issue before i can get 1 fitted.. Any ideas people please? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I had unpredictable central locking for a while once it was bad in wet weather. When the summer came it was fine so I out it down to rain running down the window. I waxoyled the inside of the door on a hot try day and its been fine since.

nemo_arta Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Ok I had a play here's the results. Car does unlock from the fob, does not lock. Inside if I press the lock button on drivers door card, it does not work but if I lock car manually inside and press unlock it opens Key does not lock driver side door from outside Any ideas?

listy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Did you search? It's been covered plenty of times before. It'll be the central locking control box behind the lower glove box. They can be temperamental in bad weather as moisture gets to them. Usually when the summer hits they sort themselves out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo_arta Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 But it works on unluck which is why I thought it might not be that box behind glovebox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Usually either lock works and unlock doesn't of vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostman Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Mine did the exact same thing in the cold wet weather. It would lock and not unlock. After a few warmer dry days it started working again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo_arta Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 i believe it is the driverside door locking mechanism thats the issue. the key does not lock the drivers door when twisted so i think the locks gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
