Need Urgent Help

[currieravfc]

My car will not unlock with the the key fob and I have also tried my spare so it isn't the key. I've opened the door with the passenger physical lock however the car won't start as the immobiser is on and when I turn the key the alarm goes off!

5amp fuse in the glovebox.

Either pull all the 5 amp ones, or there's a thread stickied in the technical section with a picture of which one.

Which one am I looking for?

from the top of my head central locking fuses are found in 12 or 14 in the glove compartment

Thankyou!!! Lifesavers! I bet my neighbours hate me even more now than they originally did with my alarm going off constantly untill 11pm. Just cancelled my Renault roadside assistance, you guys should always be the first place to ask!

no worries man, best to investiage the central locking fuse and check the the body control module (UCH) fuse is dealt with by taking it out and putting it back in. some fuses have a life of their own

Sorry I wasn't more help, by being able to post the pic. I tried but gave up. The internet connection in the accommodation is hopeless and, until now, I didn't actually know if it had posted the above.

This seems to be an occasional fault across the whole range of ages and trim levels, so worth noting for anybody.

This happened to me at 5am the morning of FCS one year. Was indeed a fuse that had gone in the glovebox. Seems to be a common thing
