Hello to all members.
I just got a 1998 Puma 1.7l few weeks ago.
Apart from the trills it offers, of course it had to show a bit of temper.
I found a post in here related to remote central locking issues and I added a comment but I didn't get any help so far. So I am thinking that maybe if I start a new post I might be luckier.
When I bought the car, the remote CL fob didn't work( wasted batteries...) as the car was off the road for a couple of years. after replacing the batteries, even though the fob transmits a signal( plus the red light on it lights up when holding a button on), the car does not go in programming mode.
My model is a 1998 with old style mechanical dials, IR 2 buttons remote.
The biggest problem was that the boot didn't open either( maybe the same common problem ?....) but I created an internal switch that links directly to the the pump/motor of the boot lock---- so that problem is sorted.
The other issues is that only the passenger door OPENS the central locking, but both door locks can close it. My fear is that some day the only lock that opens the car might go busted and it is going to give some headaches. After trying suggested methods to get the remote CL fob working, I can only conclude the the CL module(....) can be at fault.
So, if anybody here has experience on this matter, can point me at the locations of this, also if it can be replaced with a second hand one, etc....
Your comments and time are much appreciated.
Regards.
