Hi guys,
Took noble out for last spin before going on holiday. Parked up and locked car. On returning pressed remote and nothing happened, car remained locked but immobiliser had cancelled. Pressed remote again, could hear the locking mechanisum move and immobiliser came on again. Panic set in, as flight time was getting close.But why cant I get in the car!! Now back home car is locked but wont unlock. Any ideas what I can look at?
Thanks

Can you hear the solenoids in the doors when you press the button ?
If yes then maybe the cable/rods need adjusting, if no then I would check the relays and fuses to the solenoids as a starting point.

How are the batteries?
Both in the remote fob and the big one in the car.

As Steve says, it'll be the rods most likely.

If you can hear the locking mechanism working, it is definately the cables that need adjusting, the solenoid is just not pulling them enough to open the door, just take off the panel, very simple inside, tighten the cable, sorted. Just in case you dont know, have to get your arm in through the speaker hole to undo the butterfly nuts on the inside to get the panel off, i get bruises on my upper arm everytime i have to do this. Mod Edit: why did you even mention the stuff I've deleted?

Managed to use secret entrance into car, and opened the door, deep joy, but why cant I get in the car!! Now back home car is locked but wont unlock. Any ideas what I can look at?
Thanks Hi Chris, YHM
