At last I found the problem also. Same as kreasey, disconnected drivers door gaitor, symptoms ceased. followed the FAQ to take wiring loom out and fixed 1 wire, the thick brown one which had completely broken. All working now as normal. Now just a drivers side rear door lock to sort out. thanks for all your help - antzagalaxy, cyborg and seatkid. Peter.

Hi there Anthony, sorry for the delay in responding. Unfortunately the key check didn't work, but now I am experiencing the hazards flashing for no real reason, driving along and they just flash twice out of the blue. the battery has been fine, car starting no problem and everything else powering ok, stereo, lights etc. Will try disconnecting the wire loom to the door. thanks for the advice. I have also experienced the fuel cap locking mechanism locking and unlocked the same as kreasey has mentioned. Other issues are the following: Can only lock drivers door with key manually Can only arm alarm after locking drivers door manually. when i press the key fob to arm the alarm everything locks then unlocks, and I hear the fuel cap lock, unlock, lock, unlock. I can put up and down the passenger window from controls on passenger door, but I can only put it up from the drivers door controls. Controls fro the electric mirrors don't work on the drivers door, when I try them the hazards flash, weird. cyborg and seatkid, thanks for the advice, will check the wiring to all doors and will let you know the outcome. Cheers, peter.

Hi antzatgalaxy. Thanks for your prompt response. I will give the spare key a try.

Hi, I have a 2005 Galaxy 1.9 TDI, 130bhp. I am having problems with the Drivers door electrics. Basically all of a sudden the electric window will not go up or down, the remote locking will not work ( It locks and then unlocks, with hazards flashing twice), when I try to move the electric door mirrors using the control on the drivers door, nothing happens and the hazards flash twice. When I try to use the buttons on the drivers door to lock and unlock nothing happens, but the hazards flash twice. Also when I start the car and turn the headlamps on, the hazards flash twice. Has anyone seen this before? I have followed instructions on the forum to take the drivers door card off and look at possible wiring problems, but have found nothing. have checked the wire loom for broken or damaged wires and have found nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Pete.
