I?ve got a Peugeot 306 Meridian V reg. I?ve had the car about 4 months and everything has been working fine until recently when I had a bit of shunt from behind. Only a small incident and didn?t do much damage, slight damage to bumper and a kink in the exhaust. About a week after the incident my key stopped working. I mean that it didn?t open the doors remotely. I?ve assumed that it could only be the battery in the key dying, but I haven?t had the chance to change it and see. Only today I?ve discovered something else. In the past when I left the lights on, took the key out of the ignition and opened the door, the car would give a loud alert warning sign to signify that the lights were on. Today I noticed that it doesn?t do that anymore.
I don?t know what the problem could be and if they are related or not. I kind of assumed that they may be.
