Keyless entry/exit fault

Not sure which section to post this, sorry if it's in wrong area. Still getting used to the forum.

I can unlock the door by walking up and pulling handle keyless, but the button doesn't work to lock anymore. Is there a quick fix or is it a full replacement??

It could be just that the battery in the keycard needs replacing. Worth a try as a first point of call?

Well worth a try for what the batteries cost :smile: it's a straightforward swap too. I've had similar symptoms twice in the past and it was the battery both times - fingers crossed it's the same for you and nothing more expensive :smile: let us know how you get on.

Mine did this, I squirted WD40 through the straw applicator into the gap between the button and the handle. Button worked ever since. Possibly water in the contact? Not sure, but it works again :smile:

When you say gap, where you mean? Pull handle and under where button is?

Anywhere around the gap, but I spayed in the top so that it would run down into the contact switch and flush out any water / moisture. Which it did, all over my door [emoji17] but it made it work again [emoji3] View attachment 112822

Before buying new handle I would take old one off and fully clean/check it first. Not sure if disconnecting car battery would change anything. Just thinking what I would do in the same situation.

Pity it wasn't the battery :worried: hopefully it won't be too problematic to get it sorted. Keep us updated as it will help other people in the future.
 
Hey before this gets way out of hand and you start removing wheel nuts to try a fix the door handle lets look at this logically.

The car has 2 doors so if something is not working on one side try the other to confirm.

1. First try the buttons on the keycard to unlock, lock the car that will confirm battery power in the keycard, If you have 2 keycards try both.
2. Put the keycard onto the middle of the drivers window and try the handle to lock and unlock, then go to the passenger side put the keycard on that window and try the same functions. And if you want go to the boot and try the same tests there.
( From this you will know if it is the handles or the keycard but if the keyless entry works on one side then the keycard transponder is working and if the button does not lock it on the handle then it's the handles button that's faulty also make sure your hand is not behind the handle when your pushing the lock button on the handle )

By now you will know what's wrong a new handle is around £50 and there is a how to guide on the site of how to change it if you have the tools and skill level, if you pay the £5 membership fee for a 1yr you will be able to view it.

The handles like mine can give button trouble just after washing but when dried out can start working again the rest is up to you
good luck.

The keycards both work fine, the keyless entry is fine. The issue i have is the buttons on the handles, both sides won't lock the car.

Try locking the car from the boot button then and listen does it lock then unlock right away then the car thinks there is a door open/ not closed properly.
______From the Service Manual______
b) Hands-free locking


When the UCH detects that the locking button has been pressed, it sends a 125 kHz signal over the access aerials.

If the Renault card is in the access zone, it responds to the UCH at 433 MHz. If the UCH authenticates the card

(and if it cannot be detected in the hands-free starting zone), the UCH requests the locking motors to unlock.

If another card is in the vehicle locking is still possible, but the card left in the vehicle will temporarily lose its handsfree

function until the next unlocking.

Hands-free locking of the entire vehicle by stage:

1 The user presses one of the locking switches on the door handle or tailgate (located in the badge).

2 If the Renault card is not hands-free disabled (i.e. if the card has not been left inside the vehicle when it was

locked using another card), the UCH sends a 125 kHz encrypted signal over the access aerials (initial

interrogation is of the aerials on the side of the handle activated), and the starting aerials.

3 If the Renault card authenticates the code, it responds to the UCH using a 433 MHz encrypted signal.

4 If the UCH detects at least one Renault card in the access zone and this is authenticated (at least one Renault

card detected by the exterior aerials and not detected by the starting aerials; this is necessary to avoid the vehicle

being locked with the card inside) it activates the locking motors.

5 If the UCH detects other cards inside the vehicle, it disables these cards for hands-free functions (access and

starting) until the next time the vehicle is unlocked.

Conditions required:

– At least one vehicle card detected by the access aerials and not detected by the starting aerials

– No doors open.

– No Renault card in the card reader.

– No + after ignition feed.

You will need a Renault clip diagnostic to monitor the statuses of the receivers and buttons it can show things like if the button is pressed or not so it's a Renault specialist or good dealer required to get to the bottom of it. So sorry

My rear door doesn't lock.
I'll pop it out and solder a new button in. Did my old 225 and it was fine.

You don't need to be baffled with all that above. It's an easy fix and you'll be binning the handle for a new one anyway so why not try and repair the old one first. It's less than £2 if you've already got the soldering iron.

I've not got one. At the moment the doors lock using the keyfob so i'm not in a rush, its just something i want doing at some point. I just get baffled that i can open the door using keyless but cant lock it. I can lock using the boot button though, just not side doors
