You may find with a full charge the door locks work OK, then later in the week, the problem starts again. The reason I suggest the battery charging is that to find the problem, you first have to eliminate the simple stuff - a low battery is that. The charging systems on our 3's just will not / cannot fully charge the battery regardless of how long you drive. In my case, I will routinely use it all night for at least a week every few months just to bring the batteries back. It has a max amp rating of about 3.3 amps 14.4/14.7 volts. System voltage is ambient temperature dependent.Īlso regardless of the voltage numbers, I would suggest you put some sort of charger on the battery overnight. In cooler winter weather, the system may run about 14.2 VDC in summer hot weather, 13.6 VDC. Any less, maybe something is wrong with the alternator and the battery / system is not running at full strength. When the engine is idling and most electrical equipment off, the volt meter should show around 14 volts - maybe 13.7 to 14.2 VDC. If you are seeing 11.9 or less, something is probably draining the battery overnight but not enough to inhibit startup. I would be looking at the battery voltage right after engine shut down - maybe 12.6 volts DC, and prior to start up in the morning, should be 12.2 VDC or better. I presume you have access to a voltmeter. I say that as I note that you do not have a starting problem yet, just an entry problem so do not worry about the starter for the time being. Also, I have been hearing a clicking noise coming from the passenger side of the vehicle that has been pretty regular.Ĭlicking and burning from the passenger side suggests the starter solenoid. A couple things that I noticed but may be irrelevant are that the unlock issue started when the nights started dropping below freezing and I have been noticing a slight burnt smell but I thought it might have been due to turning the heat on in the car. Both of these problems have only happened once. I left the car and came back about five minutes later and it started up. On a separate occasion I was able to unlock the door of the car but when I put the key in the ignition I was unable to start the car. I drove for about a half hour and tried the restart again and they worked. I tried to restart and they still didn't work. I don't know if these other issues are related but right after I started having this problem one day the GPS and the radio/cd player stopped working during one start. ![]() Once started the keys work fine until the car has been sitting for about twelve hours and then the keys don't work again. Once I put the key in the ignition the car starts with no issues. The security light blinks and the alarm goes off when I manually unlock and open the door. They won't work at all for the first unlock almost every day. A few weeks ago I started having a problem opening the car with the both key FOBs. I just started having what appears to be an electrical issue with the vehicle. I have a 2008 LR3 HSE with 64,000mi that I have owned for about a year.
