Car Forum / Citroen Cars / March 2006xantia remote locking failure ...
Evening All, The remote control for my Xant (99 Hdi Estate) has given up . I tried the battery from the (vastly overpriced) spare remote fob thing but still no joy. Do any of you know the usual failure mode for these things? Will it be the car or the fob ? And if its th ecar - which bit!? Yours hopefully Steve Can't help I'm afraid but can sympathise. Got the same problem on my Xantia HDI (2000 on an X); it unlocks on the remote but won't lock without using the key. Hope someone comes up with a (cheap) solution.

I guess either the fob has died, or the receiver in the car has died, or the wiring/system betwixt the receiver and the locks (and lights!) has died ??? dunno - but it's a real pain ... any help really very much appreciated S > does the light flash guys? What light would that be ? The car indicator lights flash when unlocking (which works normally) nothing flashes when attempting to lock (which doesn't work) SignatureBrian Kelly Leeds, West Yorkshire http://kellybk.com >>does the light flash guys? > > What light would that be ? IIRC, the IR plips (>97) have a red LED to let you know you've pressed the button?. The RF plips don't (98>) Alan SignatureWarning! - This newsgroup may contain nuts....

It's not unknown for the fobs to suffer from dry joints. If you're handy with a (small) soldering iron, I'd pop the circuit board out and look for iffy connections. As well as dry joints, I had the 'lock' micro switch detach itself from the PCB. When you pressed the button, the whole switch moved, so didn't operate. This was on a '98 Xant, the fob is on it's original battery! Alan SignatureWarning! - This newsgroup may contain nuts....

It's a new fob and needs to be "programmed" ... I know I read the procedure for doing it in the manual somewhere but I'm bu99ered if I can find it now - any ideas?

Mail sent to this address might get read....Eventually I saved this some time ago in case I needed it "XANTIA (IR version) 1. Turn the Ignition switch to accessory position using the key, without the remote plip attached. (I use the 'emergency key', but if you haven't got that you have to dismantle the fob) 2. Hold the Plip key close to the central locking receiver mounted in the roof console. 3. Press the large plip button, then the small plip button on the remote. 4. Repeat for second Plip key if required. 5. Turn ignition OFF. 6. After 5 seconds, Plip should now operate." dont know if iut works though. Neil |
