Cl And Ew Help Please

Hi all

I have a 99 galaxy 2.3 ghia auto and last night went out to the garage to discover the windows all fully open, funny, I thought,

so anyway my remote doesn't work so I put my key in the drivers doorlock and turned to lock for 10 secs to activate Global closure system worked fine all closed up fine and car deadlocked.. I then turned the key back to open it and something broke and fell inside the door..S**t!!!

 

I got in the passengers door with my key, stripped the doorcard from the drivers door and found the remnants of the tbh I'm not sure what I did to release them but the deadlocks are off now so I left it over night

 

Now my problems really start.. Came out this morning and found all the windows down again, tried using switches to put them back up but no joy, went for a drive and the front switches started working again but the back still is stuck down

 

How do I get the window back up?

And how can I disable the global closing forever?

I plan to get a replacement door handle, lock and key from eBay or somewhere

 

Thanks in advance

you can get repair lock kits on ebay.

 

right now for the electric problem,depending on year of manufacture.

you may have a flooded passenger footwell,common problem where the rear washer pipe comes apart,repair instructions are in the faqs.

 

or the wires in the rubber door gaiter have frayed/broken,again problem listed in the faqs.

Thanks gregers I'll look for the lock kit

Ok so every door had about 6-8 broken and corroded wires, so I have now soldered and spliced in new wires to all doors ( it's been a fun day lol) windows are now all working fine just hope they will stay up now

Ordered VAG-com and new lock kit in the hopes of fixing the locks next.. am I right in thinking I can use the VAG-com to reprogramme my key?

 

No flooded footwell, and no modules under passenger seat just one little black box with a red button on it what's this for? Fuel cutoff reset?

Yes. If you ever need to reset it... ensure ignition is off, press reset button, turn ignition to position II for a few seconds, then return to position I.

 

 

Vag-com will be no help for the keys. The procedure for programming the remotes on '99 models is the same as the mk.2 procedure in the FAQ section here...

...look for the first reply from seatkid.

 

If you are talking about a complete new key and immobiliser chip, you need two existing keys to add a third to PATS, otherwise it's a trip to the Ford dealer. The procedure is also in the FAQs here...

Got my vagcom today, managed to source and clear a few fault codes

 

Thanks paul, looks like it would need a trip to frauds which won't be happening, I have an ST24 with the same key problem and they quoted me

So much for no flooded footwell.. Lifted carpet for a closer inspection and found that the soundproofing is absolutely sodden.. This is going to be fun NOT!

If it's the passenger footwell, there's a joint in the rear wash wipe pipe that runs inside the trim at the bottom of the door and it is common for this joint to come apart.

 

Number 5 on the FAQ list.

right fitted my new lock kits and have got both front doors locking and unlocking..problem is the first time i locked the car (after fitting lock kit)the indicators flashed twice and the rear doors are now deadlocked.. the boot opens manually by turning the key in the lock but it no longer opens with the solenoid.. front doors are still locking/unlocking manually but not centrally.

 

can anyone help? what on earth is going on with it? and where do i find the central locking control hub and relays?

 

i should mention also, there is no life from the led in the drivers door

 

also tried to link the remote key back in and the key flashes as though its sending out a signal but nothing from the car itself

Today I lifted the sodden soundproofing ( it's the drivers side that is worst but passengers is damp too, I found this lovely modification in the drivers footwell...You can see a rusty hole in the middle by the digits 044..

What a good way to deal with a flooded footwell eh? Just drill up from under the car.. The hole isn't even on a low point so as you can see from the pic I have some lovely smelling old water sitting in there too lol

 

I think I may have the central locking thing dealt with too, I have managed to release the deadlocks again and simply unplugged the multi plug from the lock solenoids so I now have manual locking..its not ideal but at least now I can rely on it opening when required
