Hi all,
Sorry to bump an old thread but I've got a 2006 Camry Altise and it appears to have a similar problem. Using the keyfob the car unlocks without any issues however it does not lock. It is also intermittent, sometimes everything works fine and then sometimes I'm unable to lock the car using the keyfob.
I thought I'd start with the most basic checks and tried to replace the battery in the key fob however the battery is soldered into the key fob remote!? To get around this I have ordered a new key fob for about $30 and I'm waiting for it to arrive.
Can any one offer any advice on where to start trouble shooting this problem? It's very frustrating to drive the car to the grocery store and then realise you can't lock the car whilst you're doing your shopping.
Unfortunately the key does not work in the door either so it has to be left unlocked. I recently purchased this car and I suspect there was an attempt to steal it and possibly the barrel has been changed as a result (we only tested the key in the door a few days after the purchase, didn't really think it was going to be a problem)
Any help appreciated!
