Car Central Locking Won't Work And Can't Lock Doors With The Key Help!,


Recommended Posts

does it have a remote or is it on the keyhead ?

could be a few things

most likely the remote battery is low, or button worn flat inside. worth changing anyway, spend a buck a photo would help to identify the alarm or locking setup ?

blown fuse on door actuators

blown fuse on alarm or bad connection

no signal to brain on alarm , cut off antenna wire or bad reception

is it in valet mode , solid red light on car led or blinking ?

the alarm battery in the siren has nothing to do with it.

could be actuators slipping on the rods , no idea since you didnt mention what car its in ?

Sorry it's in a series 2 33 gtst, n it's an aftermarket alarm that I have no idea what kind, came with the car, thanks heaps for your help anyway though, I tried both remotes I have n neither worked, I'll try n replace the battery as a start n see what happens, cheers

a photo of the remote might help ? identify it

more then likely if the doors lock while in the car fine using the door lock switch, its the alarm wiring is stuffed or fuse blown on relays interface.

could be a bad brain , since we dont know the brand ? nfi

has any work been done on the car lately ? battery disconnected lately or gone dead ?

L;ED on dash , blinking or always on ?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
