need some help regarding my remote locking or keyless entry
whatever you’d like to call it
basically I have just got myself a 2002 mx5 which came with the romemote fob. The guy told me that it had just stopped working for him one day but wasn’t sure what was wrong.
the central locking still works when I use the key and the deadlock inside still works
i have tried to sync the fob to the car many times but the whole programming thing doesn’t work on the car (when it locks and unlocks before you sync the key)
is there a fuse for the central locking that could be blown? If so where is it?
or would it be the ECU? Will I need to buy a new one
I know it may sound silly, but have you replaced the fob’s battery yet?
My MK2 came with Laserline remotes but although the light came on on the fob it didn’t seem to do much other than set off an alarm when I fiddled with the buttons, so used the key to central lock.
Recently put a new battery in the fob and suddenly found I not only have decent remote central locking, but it even closes an open window when the lock button is pressed. Result!
You wanted me to advise you about the remote locking on your car - was my £10 charge as you had bought the fob elsewhere, refundable on any purchase too much - a rhetorical question really, lol?
Not trying to be talking down to you but I believe from what you have written to date, you are out your depth here as you have little idea about how the system works and what systes are concerned.
I will make no more comment on the thread appart from wishing you the best of luck.
How on earth would I be able to match that up haha
i didn’t say anything about buying the fob elsewhere? I simply asked how to do it to which you replied that you have never owned a Mazda before so couldn’t help
i know what lol means mate just wasn’t aware that people used it anymore
and didn’t know why it was said in the comment as nothing you said was funny?
Whatever man I can’t really be asked with this ■■■■
i didn’t come into these forums to argue with people I came for help. All I wanted was a bit of help or more of an idea man you must be crazy if think I’m going to give you money in hope that you have the information that I need
Really didn’t want to make enemies on here so sorry for that
and to re answer your question before
i emailed two people regarding help (you clearly being one) id like to say that I am sorry as I quite clearly missed your reply
Finally thanks to Gerryn’s investigation and Robbies circuit diagram, necessary because I can’t get my hands on a MK2.5 car at the moment we have confirmed that removal of the room fuse disables the central locking on the MK2.5 car.
I can only think that Liam considered the use of a metal key to successfully unlock one door as central locking - true function on the MK2.5 is use of metal key in either door lock to unlock/lock both doors and the boot simultaneously.
