smoggy7 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 hi guys,plz can someone help me out. the car will lock but now the red light on the drivers door has stopped flashing? it is a pain in the bum now and i need to know if someone can tell me what it is and how to fix it, the key fob works when it wants to and i can lock it manually so no idea what it is thanks smoggy Quote
mumof4 Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Immobiliser fault?Battery going in the key fob?Lost programming?..sorry hun, but those are all i can think of.Checked fuses? Quote
smoggy7 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) hi thanks mum but i took the key down to ford to them changed he told me there was enough life in them, it will open the car on the fob and manually but once locked and you try it again in about an hour or so and point the key at it nothing happens i press the key to all different angles but nothing , open the car manually then lock it no problems it opens and closes until i wait about an hour or so and go out to do it again nothing dont make any sense at all, as i said the red light sometimes dont flash when i lock it so i will have to have a word with a friend of mine he is an electrician in a car depot if i can reach him very busy lol, thanks for the reply mum greatfull smoggy oh and i did try and reprogramme the key went through all the commands but made no difference??????????

mumof4 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Posted June 1, 2007 If the light doesnt flash.but its locked..i think either an electrical problem, or an immobiliser fault.Might be worth seeing if you can see if there are any faults recorded by diagnostic/vag-com? Quote
