Dear All,
After 5 years of only using the key as a key I came across the alarm system fixes page on the web site. So I bought a new "key 1" remote and upgraded the RF receiver to the current version. I then followed the "how to re-program a new remote" as per the main web site and it pretty much worked.
BUT I have some odd behaviour and I'm interested because I can't find any reference to anyone else having despite searching.
Alarm, the new remote works the alarm exactly as it should, both when used as a radio remote and when the key is in the lock. It arms and de-arms the alarm perfectly.
Central locking. WHen used as a manual key the car locks and unlocks as it should.
But whne used as a radio remote, i.e. when I press the lock button on the remote with the car closed up but unlocked what happens is the 3 passenger doors lock but the tailgate and the drives door do not. The alarm arms correctly. So I press the lock button and the 3 latches all click down but the drivers door one doesnt and the tailgate is unlocked.
When I press th unlock button the 3 passenger latches all pop up and the alarm is de-activated.
Help please.
My suspicion is that it may be a mechanical problem in the drivers door lock / latch. However before I tak ethe door apart does anyone know better or has anyone had experience of this sort of problem?
As ever any help gratefull appreciated.
