Key problem

[LEIGH-ANNE]

What u gona do? U have taken out the reciever havnt u?

Could u not get a new reciever and new locks or sumthing will that be cheaper?

I dont use my locks at all....as ive got that alarm

[Wobba]

Could try resetting the ECU by disconnecting the battery for a while.
So it locks but wont unlock? So one of the plips works?

[Coops]

was about to say, disconnect battery completely and leave overnight, try again

if that doesnt work disconnect ECU as well :D

[LEIGH-ANNE]

I think the battery has been disconnected for a period of time over the months its been off the road anyway.


Hes changed batteries in the key fob bit. They work fine. Either the reciever or something else.

Worst bit is, hes got a cobra alarm.....the same alarm which totally disarmed my car for a good week or so....ended up ripping it all out and havign to spend £300 on a new one

Could the alarm somehow stop the central locking process in some way?

[Coops]

wouldnt of thought so, i have a cobra and the standard renault plip works totally seperately, i can lock up with the cobra and then use the plip to lock/unlock the car with no effect to the cobra and vice versa!

[LEIGH-ANNE]

So it HAS to be somthing with the plip or the reciever then. As hes had the alarm turned off for ages as it goes off when it feels like it

I reckon its the reciever...

So am i right in thinking that to change the reciever and to have it recoded...its near on £90 from reno?

[Coops]

something like that

with it being a williams tho any set of plip and reciever from scrappers etc will work, even if its off an RT etc, any phase, and model, provided its a working set of plip and reciever.

[Coops]

oh if yours works miss loser, be a good girl and swap it into his car to test

[LEIGH-ANNE]

It works now


But im a reciever and a key down

Already thought of that Mr loser

[Itsme]

Well atleast it locks now ill keep that key Leighanne till you sort yourself out and go and pick up the boot I been waiting for!!!
