Currently my car has un aftermarket alarm/immodiliser fitted with remote lock/unlocking.

For no apparent reason, now when i press the button, the siren beeps but the doors dont unlock? same goes for locking it. So i'm having to press the button to disarm the alarm, then use the key to unlock the car, which is annoying.

the central locking still works manually, when unlocking/locking with the key it operates both door locks & the passanger door lock still locks at about 25km/h

any idea whats wrong?

it did this to me about 12months ago, but after about a month it just started working again? Now its been more like 6 months so I need to look into fixing it.

any help very much appretiated thanks

Hey mate,

you most likely have an after market actuator in the drivers door to trigger the central locking from the alarm.

alarm ->actuator -> factory wiring -> passenger door

check out the wiring to the actuator or take the door trim off the drivers door and replace it.

Most likely it will cost you 10 bucks for the parts.

Unlikely it's a problem with wiring.

The alarm's actuators piggyback onto the originals, and are locked in place by a grub screw. Sometimes the screw comes loose, and the actuator simply slides along the factory rod.

Re-align the alarm actuator on the factory rod, tighten the grub screw, and Robert's your father's brother.

This happend to me...I have a Mongoose Immobiliser.

It only happend I after I degreased the engine and hit the engine bay with a pressure washer at Car lovers. After a week it started to work again.

Never had a problem since...and this was in December 06.

Have u done anything like this?

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
