Mine does that very occasionally. I believe the sensor is in the driver's A pillar, so hold the key up neat the window and see if that helps. Otherwise it may have gone out of sync. In which case, open the door with the key and resync it. Instructions in the wiki I think. |

Ah, that's a problem. Mine did that, but luckily the remote fob worked so I could fix it. Clearly when you get it open you MUST fix the physical locking/unlocking issue!

Are you sure the car isn't just flat?

If as Alistair says the voltage is low across the 3/4 terminals you can make up a cheap adapter using an old 12s plug and some wire and terminal blocks to those terminals in the plug, then connect this to your charger.
