Got Another One For Ya........

[marcr]

Hi all,

 

So far i've only had minor wear and tear issues which the forum has helped me to sort out. Here's hoping my luck continues..............

 

My newest thing that i'd like to sort out one way or another is to do with the global opening/closing. My remote key locks and unlocks all the doors (so is programmed to the car - yes?) but doesn't operate the windows up and down if i hold the button down. It's the radio type key. The batteries in it seem a little weak as i do have to be quite close to the car when using it. Do you think changing them will solve this? The obvious answer is try it and see.

 

Or is there something else i could do?

 

Thanks.

IIRC? global closing was removed from the remotes due to safety issues!

On an S plate the vehicle had global closure on the lock itself eg if you use the key in the door and hold it more than 0.5 secs in the open position the windows etc will open and close the same way.

 

I agree that it would appear that the global opening and closing has been disabled on the remote function not just for safety reasons as the reversing windows should prevent harm but because if you sat on your keys in the pub not only could the doors be unlocked all the windows and sunroof can be opened and you may get a wet car !

That's fine - thought it was just me being stupid. The key does do the windows if i put it in the lock so that'll do nicely.

Thanks for your replies.
