HELP....central lock trouble

[Swedishmoose]

Hi guys...

well I tried to find a suitable answer through the search function but it wasn't really satisfying.

Maybe someone in here can help out.


It is a Ford Falcon Futura 4.0 (4spd auto) sedan....


My settings for the remote are as following.

press unlock once = driver door opens
press unlock twice = all doors open
press lock= all four doors lock

My habit is, that I allways press the lock button twice until the horn goes off...its just a habit.

However, this morning I got out off the car , locked it and that was it. After that I couldn't open the car, the boot, activate the panic button. Basically the remote was dead although that little read light was flashing everytime I pressed any button.

I can unlock the car manually though.

I have no clue how to figure out if the problem is on the sending side (the remote ) or the receiving side (body control modul).

The battery of the remote seems to be ok...although more than 2 years old...otherwise the red little light wouldn"t flash when a button is pressed.


Does anyone have an idea ? It happened so sudden...pressed the button and after that the cehntral lock didn't respond anymore to any button.


Thanks for any idea


cheers
