    Key problem

    The battery has gone flat on my key for the williams went out this morning and bought new ones.
    They are in the right way round and the light comes on in the key but the car does not lock.
    This is a bit of a problem on my car as there are no locks in the doors!
    I have not used the car for about 6 months and it worked before any ideas?
    Is there something I have to reset?

    Have you tested the lock button in the car?

    Check the receiver connector, can get wet/corrode from leaks near the aerial.

    I have the same problem. My car was satin the garage for half a year without acco and I think it lost synhronisation between ECU and key. There's a procedure how to synchronise it again(something witl lock button inside the car and unlocking with key within 10 seconds betwen pressing the lock button inside the car). I hope someone will remember the right procedure. If that doesn't help you have to go to the dealers to do it for you.

    I had to cut the plug off a different car and splice it to the IR sensor as it had gotten so corroded the wires inside fell apart. Just prise the plastic lighting and board out (careful, electrocuted myself there once lol) and have a look.
