Anyone know if I can get hold of the thing that locks and unlocks the doors as mine have given up the ghost. Also, can these be fitted easily as I am in Germany and can't find a dealer out here.

 

what do you mean by the thing that locks and unlocks the doors.

they are not bad to fit it you know what you are doing if you have no idea about electrics it will be a nightmare

 

Yes let us know is it the Remote ?

I can supply just about anything you need for Toad

Ian

 

I dunno - I press the button, the alarm arms but doesn't lock the doors. Judging by my response, you may guess that I am crap with electrics

 

Hi it is all built into control box have you checked fuses for the alarm or i can supply a new control box and 2 remotes

Ian

 

Could it just be the solenoid ?

 

Either a blown fuse or the door motor. Any car alarm plaqce should be able to have a look and sort it, they don't have to be a toad installer

 

Does the central locking work by the key ?

Ian

 

yes they do

 

Take drivers door card of and see if new actuator is loose or trying to move may need adjustment
Ian

 

If you don't hear any noises, like the locking is trying to move, when you press the lock or unlock buttons then it will be the drivers door solenoid which was installed to allow the alarm to activate the locking. If this is the case then you can pick up a replacement from maplins for about 8 quid.

If there is a noise when pressing the arm or disarm buttons then it is probably an adjustment that is needed.

Hope that helps..

 

Do they Have Maplins in Germany

 

probably...

and if not you can buy them from their online store and have them shipped.

 

Where would the fuse be? Ive checked all the fuses in the fuse holder under the bonnet and all are fine. Is there another fuse I dont know about? Apart from the beep, there is absolutely no noise from the locking mechanism when I press the 'arm' button on both fobs. Im tempted to chance buying a new locking solenoid

 

fuses are at the Alarm control module
Listen for the clicking on arm and disarm this will give you aclue

ian

 

Any idea where this is could be on a '02 WRX? - Thanks for the help btw...

 

No Mate

Depends on the fitter but the clicking will take u there

Ian

 

OK, I managed to find it behind the glove box however, no fuses at all in the area.
I've tested the connection to the central locking motor thing with a multimeter and there is a brief 12v flash when I press the arm/disarm buttons. i took it out and connected it to a 12v battery and nothing happens so im guessing it is shot?

these 2 wires were loose....





that ok?

 

That is ok one is ariel wire other is optional pager wire
Yes motor is buggered
you will probably find one on ebay that will post to Germany

Ian
