Dennis Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Hi Peeps, I have a really annoying problem with my C3 and can not see anything mentioned like it in the topics. When I go out to the car in the morning I can not for the life of me open the doors via the plipper and have to open the drivers door with the key, once this is done I can use the plipper to lock and unlock no probs. however, after about 15-30 mins when I go back to the car the plipper does not work again and have to open it with the key. When I 1st had it I could use the plipper all the time and then all of a sudden it started acting like I have just described. Any ideas chaps? Regards,Dennis Quote
Guest Simon McLeish Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I've got exactly the same problem with my (2002) C3 diesel, prompting me to seek out this forum. In my case, it started when I installed a new radio, which had me worried I'd shorted something. The behaviour seems to be a bit too predictable for that, though. Any suggestions most welcome! Have to say, the electronics in the C3 are the worst aspect of it: all sorts of problems which even the garage that sold it to me (new) cannot fix. Cheers,Simon Quote
paul.h Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 May be worth checking the car battery is charged enough. I had not used our C5 for a month and the plipper was not working normally. The battery was down to 11.9 volts. Ran the car for a few miles and was then ok. Quote

Many thanks, that might be it as she has only been getting short journeys with all the lights on etc. Regards,Dennis Quote

kfk Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 because non standard radios if fitted incorrectly cause exactly the symptoms you are describing Quote
