Saturn :: Sounds As If Doors Are Unlocking And Locking When Driving
The issue began around July/August of this year. It sounds as if the car locks are attempting to lock and unlock while I am driving. It is a clicking sound. The doors will automatically lock when the car is going at 10 mph - this is normal. The locking/unlocking sound sometimes will start within 5 minutes and other times within 30 minutes - it is totally random. This does not happen every day but it is definitely monthly and has lasted anywhere from 3 days to 10 days. The other noise associated with it comes from the console on the passenger side. It is a clicking sound. This sound happens during the locking/unlocking sound but on intermittent cycles. The doors never become unlocked while I am driving. I purchased the car new.

I have an 08 smart key Prius. I hit a deer in November on front passenger side. While in the shop the battery died and had to be replaced.
Since my panic alarm would go off at weird times. I checked the aux 12v battery and it was fine.
After a couple of weeks it stopped. It started again last week and I noticed the little red light on my fob was blinking.
I replaced the fob battery and now the smart key function and the buttons will not unlock the door.
Prius (2004-09) :: Remote Fob Won't Unlocking Doors?
I had a strange issue arise today. used the car this morning and all was well. Came home this afternoon and clicked the remote fob to unlock the car and..... nothing. no indicator flash and the central locks didnt work.
thought the battery was gone in the fob so went inside and got the spare fob and tried that. clicked that and again nothing.
replaced the battery with a new cr2032 battery and nothing, checked the 12v battery via cars diagnostics and a healthy 12.6 and 14.1 outputs. central locking works via the button on the car door. so fuses, motors etc are ok.
went online and saw the fob reprogram threads. been spending the last 7 hours trying to reprogram the fobs. searching the net and trying any 'new' or different methods suggested.
Prius (2004-09) :: Chirps 5 Times When Unlocking Doors - Driver Door Remains Locked
When I get near the driver's door on my 2008 Prius in attempt to unlock the door, nothing happens. However, when I get near the passenger door or the rear hatch, they will both open but the car chirps 5 times. The driver's door remains locked. It's not the battery in the key FOB, because if it was, no doors would open unless I remove the key from the FOB and physically open the door the "traditional" way.

I bought a 2007 Prius this week and I am having trouble with the door lock/unlock procedure. I have read and re-read the manual and feel I am doing everything correctly. What is happening is I can lock the car, either with the push button on the handle or with the key fob. When I return to unlock the car 2 things may happen. Either I get within 2 feet of the car and the alarm goes off or I can get close enough to touch the door handle and then the alarm goes off. Either way, I then have to use the fob to turn off the alarm noise and then I can unlock the car. All rather embarrassing and I'm getting tired of looking like an idiot! The worst part is when I was back at the used car dealer briefly yesterday and went to show him the problem, it behaved perfectly which was the only time it worked ever for me. I have tried both of my key fobs and the same thing happens with both of them.

View 5 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: 2008 - Doors Not Locking All The Time
My 2008 is 4 years old now but only has 27k miles. (I'm retired.) However I am really disgusted that it has had so many serious problems. Most recently, the trunk will not open all the way. I noticed this before it went out of warranty but I assumed it just needed some WD-40. In fact I remember another poster on this forum actually making fun of another owner who complained about the trunk not opening all the way. Well, now the dealer tells me I need a whole new trunk support system for $388! I'll just live with it as long as I can stand it.
Additionally, the doors often don't lock when I push the thumb lock on the outside of the door. I've tried both doors and the trunk. Of course the dealer couldn't find anything wrong. I know I could try the key fob but I keep it zipped up inside a pocket inside my pocketbook and never fool with it - a feature I do love about the Prius. Having problem with the trunk not opening all the way?
Prius (2010-12) :: Unlocking All Doors After Putting Car In Park

So I have an 05 MK4 GLI, my alarm has not worked since the day I got it. Hold the alarm button on the fob, no luck. when I lock or unlock the car, the lights don't flash and the horn doesn't beep. My ex had an 03 GLS 2.0, alarm/lock/unlock worked without a problem, so why mine doesn't work.

I just purchased a 2012 Prius. I tried to program the all doors are unlocked when the driver's door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the Power switch off. On page 89 of the user manual, it explained how to do it but me and my dealer could get it to work.
View 7 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Horn Honking When Locking And Unlocking Doors
I have a 2010 Prius IV and set the doors to all unlock when I touched the driver's door handle. Annoyingly, now when I touch the raised spot on the handle (either driver or passenger side) to lock all the doors the car does the beep but also briefly toots the horn. The horn also toots when I touch the handle to unlock.
My old 2005 Prius VI just did the beeping (which my neighbors and I can live with) but the addition of a honking horn, however brief, is pretty annoying. I can't seem to find a place to disable this unwanted feature...
Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2007 RX400h Keys Stopped Locking / Unlocking Doors
My wife said that her keys stopped locking/unlocking doors. I checked the keys and replaced the battery just to be sure. No change. Older keys also couldn't unlock/lock the car.
Both keys can start the car and has blinking red LED flushing when any buttons pushed. Is there a "Remote" button somewhere in a car to allow remote operation?

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2005 - Alarm Sounds Whenever Unlock The Car
I just bought a 2005 Prius in great condition. However, the alarm is making me crazy. It sounds whenever I unlock the car, whether by remote or keyless entry. I turned off the keyless entry function, but it still sounds when I press the unlock button on the remote. I have to press it again to get it to stop. It is very shocking, especially when using keyless entry. I walk up, stand for a moment to assure my key fob has communicated with the car, touch the door handle and it goes off! Then the car unlocks, I pull open the door and it stops. One day I was just walking by the car with my key in my purse and the alarm went off! I had to find the key in my purse and press the unlock button to turn it off. So strange!
View 3 RepliesAlarm - Mercedes-benz - E-class :: 2015 - Doors Not Open Keyless And Alarm Went Off When Opened With Key
New 2015 Mercedes E350 wagon ..... The day after I took delivery, I tried to open the new wagon's doors (it has a keyless feature) and nothing happened. I tried again and still nothing happened. I then took the smartkey out of my pocket and tried to click open the locks and nothing happened. I then took the ancillary key out of the smartkey and unlocked the car manually. This set off the alarm which would only stop when I closed the door and relocked the car.
Also, the car would not start. It was like I had broken in to the car. A few minutes later, while waiting for roadside assistance to speak with me, I tried the door handle again and discovered that the doors would now open keylessly. I have driven the car several times since the incident (which occurred yesterday) and it has not repeated the problem. What caused the problem?Is this a one time glitch or am I in danger of being stranded somewhere?
Passat (B6) :: Alarm Goes Off When Doors Opened And Then Alarm Is On
How good the alarm on a B6 is. I mean, it goes off when the doors are opened and the alarm is on...but how easy is it to steal a Passat.
I wanna put a navi in and do a few things...but I just don't feel ok doing them and knowing I don't have a GREAT alarm.
Town Car :: 2006 - Rear Doors Are Not Unlocking All The Way
When I go to unlock my doors on 2006 TC I push the switch and all locks come up, however, the rear doors are not unlocking all the way. The only way I can get the doors to unlock is to pull up on the knob as I push the switch at the same time and the doors will unlock and become funtional. Where is the problem?
View 1 RepliesSanta Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Doors Not Unlocking (using Fob And Manual Key)
I just came back from a 3 day trip and went to get into my car with my regular FOB and it won't work. I tried to open the door using the actual key in the front driver side door (the only door with a key hole) and it would turn but not unlock.
What could be wrong? I've had the battery die on me before and I was able to get into the car to boost it, so I don't think its the battery.
Just find it strange that the FOB AND actual key won't open the door (even though the key turns).
Passat (B6) :: 2000 VR6 - Key Fob Stopped Unlocking Doors
I just bought a mint '08 Passat VR6 4motion sedan with only 40k miles on it a month ago and it is my first VW. I can't believe that I waited this long to own one. That being said I do have a few questions about it.
My keyfob stopped unlocking my doors yesterday but it will still start the car. I changed the battery and it worked once to lock and unlock the car but when I went to unlock the car an hour later it didn't work again.
Also yesterday when I went to start the car it said service now! on the vis screen. Does it say this when the car is due for an oil change every time? I didn't buy it from a VW dealer so I don't know if the computer was reset after the last oil change. It was bought from a different brand dealer.
I also want to know if the car has to be serviced every 10k miles by the dealer, this is quite a bit more than any other car that I have ever owned.
Camry :: 2006 - 5 Beeps When Unlocking Doors With Remote
I have an Australian late 2006 Camry Sportivo I4 which is the same as a 2007 US Camry SE I4.
When I unlock the doors with the remote, I sometimes hear 5 beeps instead of the normal 2 beeps. Locking it always has the normal 1 beep.
Replaced the remote battery just in case and searched the net, but couldnt really find any info.
Toyota - Camry :: 2011 - Passenger Doors Not Unlocking
I have a very puzzling issue with my 2011 Toyota Camry. Since last summer, my car has had a history of an intermittent issue with the passenger doors not unlocking; they consistently lock just fine. I have never had a problem with the driver's side door, and it is only the other three doors that malfunction (front passenger door and both rear doors). If I manually unlock the doors, I can lock them just fine via either key fob or door lock button inside the car, but then they will not unlock at all.
This issue has historically persisted for as short as a few seconds or for as long as a few weeks, and then after some period of time of everything working fine, the issue recurs. The length and frequency of the episodes have been very inconsistent and unpredictable, and the issue has now been chronic for the past two months (the longest it has ever gone without working). I have taken my car to two different mechanics and even the Toyota dealer, but no one has been able to figure out the root of the problem.
