Out dropping off something and locked my 96 440 1.8ES using the fob. Came back fob did not unlock the car so had to use key. Then found car would not start and assume immobiliser has not been disengaged. Could this be because fob batteries are goosed ? Do they just go dead with no warning ? The key still operates the central locking and power seems ok through lights etc so do not think it is flat car battery. Help !!! I am a very new Volvo owner and do not have a 440 manual to look up as previous owner has not passed them on.
