    Hi guys,

    the car doors won’t lock when leaving car. But then if I go away for a couple of hours and then they will work as normal. But as soon as I put the key in ignition and start car. Take key back out it won’t lock again.

    • no button under steering wheel to turn off and on
    • changed battery on key fob
    • Reprogrammed key fob
      • Open doors x 2 and key ignition x2 and repeat. Locks did the sequence to say at the end it worked
    • Replaced car battery.
    Maybe replace key fob completely or go see an auto electrician to fix sensor?

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    thank you for any help​

    Yes the tech stream software and or the locksmith software that goes with the machine that does all the work with the transponder keys I can't remember the name of the machine that they all have.
