Remote Central Locking & Key Locking

[Audiman]

Initially I had problems with my remote locking - Fraud had changed the battery and it worked okay for about 2 weeks - gradually getting worse.

 

I thought the problem maybe with my remote key fob because I could lock the door with the key okay.

 

I soldered the micro switches on the fob and contact on the pcb. This seemed to work okay but remote locking got finally worse again.

 

This morning I tried to open the wiring loom on the door to check for broken wires. I turned the wiring grommet anti-clockwise but couldn't get it off.

 

 

I've tried WD40, but when I turn the plastic, then whole rubber grommet turns as well. How can I get this damn thing off!

 

Now I have bigger problem after fiddling with the wiring loom, the key locking stopped working - NOW MY CAR IS OPEN TO THE WORLD !!!!!

iirc you can pull the corrugated hose away from the housing but you have to keep the 'retainig ring' still

 

as seen here

Thanks NikPV -your info was great.

 

figured out that the door was stopping the sleeve coming out - had to partially shut the door to remove the sleeve and rubber pipe.

Unfortunately the retaining ring has come off. A bitch to put back on.

 

I cannot seem to reclip the whole together again.

 

Do I need to fit the sleeve onto the pillar first and then clip the rubber hose into the sleeve?

 

I'VE DE-SKINNED MY FINGERS TRYING SO FAR !!!!!!!

Thanks Suzuki91 - I took your advice and bought a new fob from Frauds.

They told me it won't work without coding it,
