Hi guys and thank God ( who ever your God is) this forum exists!
I hope one of you may be able to help. As I have tried what I can and don't want to call the garage out as I am a bit low on cash (like many!)
Vehicle in question: 2000 (w reg) P38 vogue 4.6 petrol only 'bout 98k on clock.
I have briefly searched the forum, and looked elsewhere. But non seem to have exactly whats happened....
Alarm has been triggering. able to unlock vehicle -via key fob buttons - no message about low batteries, start engine, alarm still screaming! ....oh god what now I thought....
To stop this, as I had no tools available at the time, I disconnected the sounder (multiplug at the rear of the sounder). Key locked vehicle.
Allowed ears to recover from being blasted ...
The battery had drained when I went back to the vehicle the next morning. Ie totally flat.- clock not correct etc.
Ah, I thought after researching the web. The infamousovernight drain.
So, I removed the battery recharged it, Connected correct method. As usual all hell breaks loose with message center telling you to set the windows etc. But this time it also said *KEY CODE LOCKOUT*.
Now I had not tried to use the EULK at all. Only tried to start the vehicle! as per normal. Never had this before when replacing the battery.
(JEES, car I am your owner!!!)
So I have tried the EULK. No joy car will unlock ok , can get to ignition on, but engine fails to start, just turns over.
Locked vehicle with key. Left overnight. Tried again - no joy as previous, engine only turns-over.
OK, I thought @#%$$ . So, I removed battery terminals again (following the official handbook method as usual). Reconnected battery. Went through the EULK sequence again. No joy.
Just to make sure. If the car is locked with the key. I have to do the Lock four times, Then go through the four digit lock/unlock sequence right?
HELLLLLLPPPPP!
My apologies for the language and style but things have been "difficuilt" lately! and this "event" is the last straw. I hope you ca understand my blithering.
