Presumably everything was fine until you changed the fob battery?

ps, no 'txt' talk please - you're not limited on the amount of characters you can use here, nor is this MSN - thanks. DD Br Moderator.

It's possible to change the remote battery without the need to reprogram the key, so it sounds like you've got a fault with your central locking system.

Was this fault present before you changed the battery ?

There is a diagnostic mode for the remote/central locking - can't remember exactly how to get into it, but it involves pressing the driver's door sensor a load of times until the lights flash.

Search around this forum to see if you can find the procedure - it should certainly tell you if you have a faulty fob button or door sensor.
