Vehicle Lockout – 2022 Škoda
Called out to a 2022 Škoda after the customer accidentally left their keyless-entry key inside the car, only for the vehicle to lock with the key still inside.
We gained entry to the vehicle and then tested the key, where we found a simple but surprisingly common issue.
The key battery had recently been replaced, but the protective sticker had been left on the new battery, preventing it from making proper contact and supplying full power to the remote.
Sticker removed, battery refitted and the key was tested and working correctly again.
A small mistake that can easily leave you locked out!
