Well went to work at 6am this morning - car unlocked fine with remote
went to lock my car with the remote going in to work and nothing.....I tried pressing the lock button close to the car and still nothing...
in the end had to lock the door with the key.
Came out of work to get my dinner...car wouldnt unlock with the remote, tried the key and still wouldnt open, wouldnt turn or nothing....
walked up to Halfords to see what battery the fob had in thinking maybe change the battery :wall: waste of time - Bloody clueless
So rang RAC, he cam out tried the key fob for himself and nothing, tried it against his reciever in the van - battery is fine signal is ok
So he had to break in to the car alarm went off as expected once door was opened, he disconnected the battery and left it for a few minutes, reconnected it and informed me I would have to leave the doors unlocked - in a public carpark -NOWAY :shock:
and also said that it is obviously something with the car itself drivers lock needs stripping down and looking at as its knackered by the looks of it...
he also said it could be the ECU not recieving the signal and would have to take it to fords for a diagnostic as they would be the only ones to detect the fault....
Anyways after this while the guy was still there I pressed the boot opener and it worked and though try the doors while heres here and they locked...and unlocked.....did this 3-4 times and was fine :?
Really worried now that if its ECU it will happen again once it reidentifies the problem because of the battery being disconnected and will end up syuck somewhere locked out of the car :'(
Has anyone heard of or known of this to happen before to anyone?!
Please please would like your help before I get my arse raped from Fords - will have to ring anyways for the diagnostic
