Why does the central locking on the BMW 5 Series no longer work?
Years 1995-2003

Answer

If the central locking of the BMW 5 Series has suddenly stopped working, we can first of all check the condition of the remote control battery and, if flat, replace it for a small fee. Alternatively, it could be a fault in the system control module or its fuse, the location of which is indicated in the owner's manual.
