Right long story shortish,
Bumbles been sitting outside my parents since i injuried my hand at work just before xmas and havent been able to drive due to surgery and that. Anyway the battery has went flat so my keyfob is not working so you have to go in through the boot as you cant get into the drivers door due to the lock not matching the key for some reason.
Sooo the car is now open and runs and drives fine but the hazard lights flash for about 4min from when the door opens oh and the fact you have to lock via the boot! Its as if the alarm is going off but with no sound but i have never heard the alarm go off before and welly doesnt think he has too so cant confirm that works anyway so this may be infact what is happening lol.
As i live over 20mile away from my parents my dad has had a look at it today with this auto locksmith and he thinks the fob is working fine battery and signal wise but was going to have a look into it more and get back to us. Was wondering in the mean time if anyone had any ideas on here as your normally a knowledgeable lot
Any ideas appreciated people.
Car is a 2000 s3 if you dont know it.
