Hiya

I'm really hoping someone can help me with this as I am stumped.
My keyfob suddenly stopped working to lock and unlock my car (2009, +2), the indicators don't flash either, nothing happens at all. I have changed the battery in the key and even had it reprogrammed but its still not working, so it much be something inside the car (I have checked the number 9 fuse which is apparently the right one but it was fine)

If i press the door locking button in the centre console when I am inside the car then all the doors lock fine
However in the manual it says I should be able to press this button with the drivers door open, then get out, close the door and lock it with the key. (the key works to unlock the door but only the drivers door locks everything else is left open.)
When I press the button to lock, it just beeps to tell me the door is open and the other doors don't lock. Obviously this is a right pain cos I am left with a car that I can't lock.

What's my next move now? I really don't want to take it to Nissan cos they will change me a fortune to plug it into the computer and even then they may not be able to tell me what's wrong. I asked at an auto electronics specialists locally and he said there's no point him trying to plug it in to his diagnostics cos the Nissan security system is different from all the rest and won't tell him anything about the central locking or BCM etc

has anyone had this problem and managed to fix it without paying Nissan a fortune?

Thanks in advance!

Just a quick reply here in case other people with the same issue find my post.

Weirdly after about 2 weeks of not being able to lock my car, I took a group of friends out for the day and it started working again.

I *think* this must mean it was a sensor in one of the doors or in the door frame (cos they all got opened and closed a lot that day where as that hadn’t been for the last couple of weeks)
If it happens again my first port of call will be to check inside every door and see if I can figure out if something is sticking or something.

Hope hat helps someone one day, I was ready to take it to Nissan and probably pay ££££ so this was a lucky fix for me!

I know this video is for a Nissan note but they share the same lock mechanism and this Nissan had the same sporadic locking and unlocking problem ...
