l have a problem with the key for my car, The remote locking doesnt work, l can start the car fine, and manually lock and unlock the car with the key. The car was left for 10 days, and its possible the battery was removed. l have put in a new battery but still not working, any ideas please.

l have the 406 handbook in front of me now. It is written in Dutch, which l understand perfectly. l will translate all to English for u (my native language).

If the remote control does not work after the replacement of the battery, this must again be reprogrammed.

If lamp ''B'' only one time glows, or does not glow at all if the button is pressed, change the battery.


PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB
1. Push on button 'A' (in the center of the key) & hold down, until little lamp 'B' blinks. ('B' is also on the fob)
2. Let the button 'A' go. The blinking lamp burns constantly.
3. Push 2 times on button 'A' in the immediate vicinity of the auto.
4. Set the ignition contact switch ON for at least 3 seconds.
..( l believe this means insert car key & turn it to the ''M'' position. ''M'' for accessories ON position. It is not necessary to start the car, in furthest position 'D')
5. Turn the ignition OFF.

The remote key fob now works again.

NOTICE: Do not push the remote control button OUT OF RANGE of the auto. By that, the system can go out of order. In this case, the remote must be again re-programmed.
(It does not say what the range is??)
If the remote does not work after changing the battery, it must be reprogrammed.
Seek advice from ur service-dealer if the problem persists.

Good luck, madame..Trevor Trillion.
