The inability to open and close the central locking of one's car is often caused by a dead key battery or a broken remote control. However, this may also be due to a momentary error in the control unit, which can be reset by removing and reconnecting the fuse, as shown by the protagonist of the video tutorial above.

To do this, open the fuse box located in the glove compartment of the dashboard, remove the fuse for the central locking system, wait a few seconds, and then reconnect it. Once the reset is complete, simply try to open and close the car with the remote control.
