What to do if the keyless entry of the Volkswagen Tiguan is not working?
Years 2016-2025

Answer

The first thing to check if the keyless entry of the Volkswagen Tiguan is not working is the battery of the remote control. Even if we don't physically use it, it is still the one that commands the opening of the car. Almost certainly, it will be a common CR2032 that we can find for a few euros at the tobacconist or supermarket. If it still doesn't work after replacement, then we can think of an electrical problem: we check the fuse, which is rather complicated on this car because it does not have a single fuse that controls central locking, but one for each door. We will therefore need to check, in the passenger compartment between the steering column and the driver's door, fuses #21 #24 #46 #47.
