try puttin the key in the ignition,turn until ignition lights come on and press the buttons on your keyfob with a bit of luck your c/locking will be back to normal:y:

My RCL stopped working for a good month or so. Disconnected my battery for a second or two and works fine now!

Thread Hijack:

While were on the subject of key fobs, where do you replace the battery in them and how?

[Smokey]

replacing the battery is 1 screw on the fob, you can get the batteries on ebay.
my RCL stopped working, i tried everything and my mate showed me a trick, if you look at your fob through a camera phone it should flash when you press it, mine wasn't working so i took it apart and the wire to the little led thing had a hairline crack in it. soldered the beast and it works fine now:y:

[saxomark]

Could be the loose connection with the wire ive had the same problem but slightly different, i had to change my Central locking module, £70 from citroen and hopefully this will work but my pins on the doors keeped going up and down when i pressed it once but seems like a similar problem
