Central Locking playing up Options

[t90zero]

When i try to lock or unlock my car using the key fob i have to stand next to the car for a minute continuously pressing the buttons until it works, now ive changed the battery in the key fob so its not that i think it must be the receiver thats playing up. Has anyone experienced these problems before? also if you know how to fix the problem could you help me out?!

Have you always had this problem? Or is it a recent occurence?

The receiver unit should have an antenna. Make sure its free from other wiring.

Your receiver may be going bad.

Your fob button maybe going bad.

That's all I can think of.

ive had this problem since i bought the car last year but it seems to be getting worse now, the fob is fine as the led lights up everytime i press the button, any ideas where the receiver is so i can get a closer look at it.

The one I have is after market and it was placed behind the plastic just above the pedals.

If yours was OEM parts you could probably call toyota. If its aftermarket, I'd try above the pedals or to the left of the pedals.

Mine is in the engine bay, does yours make noise?If so,open the hood and doors, make it make the noise and trace it. Mine is all in one, the receiver is built into the speaker. Yours may have the speaker wired away from the receiver.


What does fob stand for? ****ing obnoxious button?
