Check your key locks.

[Third Opinion]

To cut a long story very short my partner and I use to have 4 company vehicles. 1 Suzuki SX4 and 3 Fiat Sedici's. They are exactly the same cars except badges and when we closed the business we kept the best cars, the Suzuki and a decent Fiat (the newer cars).

Anyway my partner left for work and returned very quickly. She could not open the Suzuki with the remote. I thought flat or failed battery so I tried the key in the lock. The result was nothing, we have never used the lock.

As the Fiat was the same car I tried the key in the lock and nothing!! As the Fiat still worked I could still open it with the remote.

I spoke to Suzuki who were useless (car still under warranty) and the spare key was the same on both. Suzuki told me to try passenger lock or boot, both the car doesn't have.

Basically I solved the problem by taking the key apart and finding a broken contact. I assume the spare key has a flat battery.

Am I right in thinking the car should open with the key regardless of the remote?

Assuming you have a full key then I would assume so yes.

Does the passenger side have a cover over a keyhole on the handle? I know when laguna keycards go you use the small inbuilt key in the passenger door.

Yes, you should b-able to open the drivers door with just the key, This is in case for what ever reason your battery on the actual car was to go flat, You need a way in that doesn't use the central locking so you can get in to pop the bonnet to charge/replace the battery. I'm taking it you just have the remote locking? not the keyless entry? (not that it really makes a difference)

So neither the main or spare key open the drivers door?

Yes, you should b-able

I stopped reading there. You put a hyphen in, why not just spell it properly?

Why be a ****? Nothing to add to the thread at all just here to pull someone on a Internet forum about their grammar. I Dunno why I did it and I couldn't give a toss either.

Trying to answer this guys question and I hope he over looked my gross error in life to keep reading on

To be fair, he has a point. It was harder to put the hyphen in than pressing the letter "e" which would have spelt it correctly

I dunno*

or even better

don't know

I work at a Suzuki dealership and when they are shipped over the fuse for the central locking is removed so the key fob won't work at all but the key still works so there is something strange going on there.
