Central Locking!!

do the doors lock ok manually firstly ?

then either test/change the batteries anyway as the light (led) will light even with next to no voltage at all in there

just some hope and mojo from it being 99% of the time batteries / coding / remote only

if that helps

oooh forgot to add

if you can measure em, make sure batteries are over 2.95v each as they are usually pretty useless under that

bugger - got a mate with similar car ? as the remotes are 'brain dead' until you code them to a car so you can code them back 'n' forth all day long

how are you recoding it ? worth trying a few times or swap buttons over too

Key coding
1 ignition on to red lights on dash
2 turn off immediately and pull key out
3 hold 1 of the buttons down (dont matter which)
4 PRESS the other 3 times ( with a SLIGHT pause) 1 . 2 . 3
5 watch led on key (should flash) and doors usually try lock/unlock
6 turn ignition key back on to red lights and wait 5 sec
7 key out again and test operation

new remote ?

used to try em on site when asked for one as they used to be ready to go but i doubt dealers nowadays do such a thing sadly

i had the same problem the dealer said they had to disconnect the cental locking pump and reconnect it and when that was done they coded in no problem

just a question, where's the central locking pump supposed to be lol ?

good question i think it might be in the o/s/r qaurter panel

lool thanks for that, i reckon i need to give that a try becaues i seem to have the same problem.

mk2's had the pump in the OSR 1/4 panel as they were air operated

mk3's are electronic so the control unit under the dash runs motors on each door/flap/gate

i am also having the same problem as you bruza
pressing the buttons and it flashing
but no respones from the car
mk3

what does the control unit actually look like so i know what im looking for? and whhere is it located?

thanks

bruza did u find the problem?
