Hi guys hows it goin?
Im having couple of problems with my remote central locking. A few days ago i would unlock car drive to work then go to lock it and it wouldnt lock off the fob. Id keep trying then it would work. Then later it would be fine drive home lock unlock ok. Next day not a prblem then same thing happend day later. But today it wouldnt unlock it and i was late for work.... Opend car with keys alarm constaly going off tying to push it up my drive way coz it was blocking other cars. My neighbours are liking me less sinse i got a FC

Im assuming the battery is going low in the fob so gonna get some tomrrow but wanted to see if it was not a comman fault or somthing. Also theres two batterys a LRV08 and a small round one. If you take the small round one out for too long will it lose its memory?

 

you need to go to an auto accesory shop and have the alarm looked at . Sounds to me like you have a short somewhere , there is no need to start monkeying around with the wiring and create a bigger problem

 

Assuming this isn't a stock system, shouldn't it have recognized that they key was put into the door to unlock it? (aka. car alarm shouldn't go off when unlocking the car by key).

 

Eple, yes it should. By that theory, I could go up to a car with such an alarm and unlock it with a lock pick or something and then just get in the car and hotwire it, and no one would know because the alarm didn't go off.

When an alarm is armed, it will go off if any door/hatch is opened until you disarm the alarm.

2ND. Generation did not have remote door locks. They did have an alarm system that only cut the ignition/fuel pump. You must find out how the aftermarket was instelled and get a schematic of the system. If the door will only function in one direction it usually indicated the reversing polarity relay is bad. The posative and negative leads to the solenoids are reversed to actuate in each direction. The relay automatically reverses the polarity to correspond with an open or closed command. Most after market systems have a web site that you can download the manuals.
