I have 4 differnt FOBs and i get the same response from all of them. they will unlock the doors and the lights flash on the car and remote but when i try and lock with remote, the light on the remote flashes but i get nothing from the car. Please help!
If you are sure your 12V battery is OK, then it might be this: Fixed: Door Lock Actuator in Gen II Prius | PriusChat
Are all the doors closed? Does the "door open light" come on on the dash with a door open and go off when all the doors are closed? Do the doors still not lock?
I had the same problem. I got in the car, put the fob in the slot and turned the car on. Sat for a minute or two then turned it off pulled my fob out and when I got out and pressed the lock button it was working again. Good luck.
If you have 4 fobs and if any of the 4 fobs are inside the car while you are trying to lock it.....it won't lock! BTW, why do you have 4 fobs? The car only comes with 2 and replacement fobs are quite expensive.
So, a couple of things, the fob (any fob for the range) has a set unique code, the car reads the code, up to 5 of I think. To code look up "chicken dance Prius 08 or such" (it will become obvious as you go). I had to do it a few times to get both lock and unlock working, but no trouble since. I came here looking for no flash on lock/unlock and it turns out the hazard light switch had not quite returned back, pressed it and problem solved.
This would be annoying for me as I keep a spare electronic key hidden inside my 08 Prius and a thin hard key in my wallet so I can always get in even if I had to break a window, if I lost my pants (not likely) with both of those in them.
