E46 Central Locking problem

Recommended Posts

Often the remote unlock button wont work so I have to put the key in the door to unlock the car, although sometimes when i do this only the drivers door opens and the others remain locked? Sometimes it take 15mins and multiple goes until finally the other doors will unlock.

Its a 1999 E46

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Is it a jap import? Try pointing the key at the red thing (sensor) attached to the bottom of the rear view mirror when you push the button, afaik jap imports use an inferior infra-red system.

Have the same problem with my old man's e46

Edit: That's just for the remote locking problem, I don't think he has any problems with opening all the doors with the key, so can't help there sorry
