Year of Manufacture *: 2001
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.8
Initially the car had a after market alarm fitted which did not work so we thought may be something to do with this so removed the whole unit and made good the original wiring.
Further investigating found a broken bonnet switch so replaced this, still did not cure problem.
Looking in the handbook the sympton is a mislock condition, when you press the lock button on the remote the horn bleeps which is telling you there is a problem, IE a door may be open and therefore is designed not to lock. Eventually after 2 days we are now at the point we can get the remote to lock the vehicle by disconnecting the body control unit then re connect and presto the fob works. Unfortunately what then happens is on turning the ignition on the remote then fails to lock the car again.
Every time we disconnect & reconnect the BCM the key works again until the ignition key is switched on.
The customer supplied a donor BCM and this unit behaves excactly the same, but not sure this is a true test as i believe the BCM is coded to each individual vehicle so may not be a true test although strange it does the same as originalBCM.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Unfortunately our Modis is very limited on this car.
