If it does not, the fault may be in the IR sensor inside the door. We repair the IR sensor fault while you wait at the shop or by post (contact us). 12-month warranty.

What is the IR sensor? The IR sensor is part of the vehicle's remote locking system. Through the sensor the doors unlock and lock with the remote. The sensor also controls the remote operation of the windows, sunroof and convertible roof.
