Presumably it locks/unlocks with key?

If so, have you tried resyncing the remote to car (Ign on, press the remote buttons, and car locks/unlocks)?

steve1 · 21 September 2008, 20:08:16

yes locks with key will try to resync as you suggested.cheers

Sadly, thats a job for a Tech2 diagnostic scanner (real one, not cheapo).

could it be a relay or something like that? where can i get an owners manual.please

Quotecould it be a relay or something like that?

unlikely. Could be a fault in alarm (CD or higher spec) or central locking (GLS) ecu, but more likely a fob fault or simply wrong fob...

steve1 · 21 September 2008, 22:47:38

what can i do if fob fault or wrong fob

Quotewhat can i do if fob fault or wrong fob

If faulty fob, repair or replace (replacement will need programming to car).

If wrong fob, it will need to be replaced with correct type, and programmed to car.

If correct fob, and a working fob, but never been programmed to car, this will need to be done.

Firstly, is it a fob integrated into key? If so, look at the back, and there is a small area that is untextured. Look carefully (try different lighting conditions) and you will see writing. What does it say - particularly looking for make, eg Megamos, Delphi, Bosch etc. Then state what model car you have (GLS/CD/CDX etc)

steve1 · 22 September 2008, 08:41:33

there is no writing on the fob,on the key there is the number 105 thats all.

steve1 · 22 September 2008, 08:47:39

opened up fob it is a megamos i have a cd

Sounds the right fob.

You say the LED lights up, but neither lock/unlock functions work, even after attempting resync (did doors lock/unlock during resync?)?

led lights work,indicators flash when buttons pushed but no lock /unlock,resync did not work does engine need to be running when trying to resync?
