If it unlocks, It sould be able to lock as well. It may be the button on the key itself is worn out? Do you have another key? If so, swap the batteries and you should be able to tell for sure.
no. when the battery is starting to run out its easy to do one and hard to do the other (i think easy to unlock but to lock takes a long time... if i remmeber right)
just go get the battery replaced. if you go to the dealership they'll charge you like 10 bucks. if you do it yourself its easy as hell.
take the little metal key out of the remaote (by pressing the little slide switch)
then if you look inside the key...
there is a small button that you have to push in.. while you pull the top of the key up
i drew a picture of the button and the direction to push it (you can use your metal key to push it)
It may take you a while to figure it out the first time but it's really easy once you get it.
my key works for like a 5days, then on the 6th day
i can unlock my car, but when i lock it, it unlocks itself.
so if i hold the button for 5sec it looks. and now it doesnt work at all..
i changed batteries like 3times. always the same crap.
did you have any resolution to this issue? i am also experiencing issues with my key not turning my car over, and sometimes the vehicle will not lock once i've exited it. i end up having to put the key in the ignition, hit the manual lock on the dash, and got through the process over and over. it only happens every so often though. i've posted regarding this specific issue. have not found an explanation yet.
LOL, as long as no one is around to witness that everything is fine!
