Decided to clean the car today. Keyless entry worked fine to open it. After finishing I decided to put the battery on trickle charge for a few hours.
When I came to lock it afterwards, the keyless touch pads on either door handle would not lock the car, and I had to use the remote key, but when I locked the car with the key, the alarm light on the dash did not come on. Tried it several times on each side, but nothing.
I started the car, ran the engine for a few seconds and then switched off, and the keyless open and shut is now working on both sides every time, and the alarm light is flashing.
No idea what's going on here, because if there was a fault surely it would be happening all the time. The fact that starting the engine for a few seconds solved the problem could be the answer I suppose, but I'm not sure why.
I understand the hands free operations in this car go into long term standby to preserve the battery after the car has been standing for a period of time, but I thought this was after a couple of weeks or so, not a few days. Apparently opening with the remote key and starting the engine wakes it up. So, any thoughts anyone?? Storeman, have you ever come across something like this on any of your Peugeots??
