blue fob button broken-how can you open rear doors?

Postby zummerzetman » Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:00 pm

Is there a way to get in the load area when the blue button isn't working? The key will open the cab but I can't get in the back without clambering over the seats (luckily, I've taken the bulkhead out). Is there a workaround until I can get another fob?

Cheers. Z

You don't say which van, but maybe try pressing the cab opener button twice, or use the key :idea:

Don't you have to turn the key to unlock twice to open the rear from the drivers door. N

You really should use it from time to time, to make sure it still works :idea:

Thanks Ned. That worked. Didn't realise it was that simple. Unfortunately the van came with no documents so I've no handbook to refer to. Cheers. Z
