Frequently asked questions
My car remote key stopped locking in Hyderabad — what to check first?
First, replace the key fob battery (CR2032 coin cell, ₹50–₹100 from any electronics shop) — this is the most common cause and takes 30 seconds. If the new battery doesn't fix it, try locking with the door button inside — if that works, it's specifically the remote/fob signal. If neither works, it's the lock actuator or a fuse. Metre Per Second diagnoses central locking issues with a BCM scan and physical actuator test.
