Breaking a window is not necessary, check your messages Chris.When you turn the key in the drivers door, can you feel any resistance? or is it kind of free? If there's nothing then I'd have to agree with wammers, you either knocked something when replacing the latch and using the key finished it off, or it was on it's last legs anyway and bum timing for you, died when you least needed it to. I'm thinking the only option now is break a window?
Sorry Mr Wammers, I'll put myself in the naughty corner

True, tow it and park it along dock road in Litherland. It will be open inside half an hour.

Come on Mozz they are more organised these days, 3 mins to open yes, but 27 minutes to put the parts on eBay first.

Here's a link to the file on testing the door latch switches:
http://marty-lx.co.uk/docs/P38_Latch_Tests.pdf
It should download (or open in your web browser depending on what you are using - but you can then save it to your computer).
Any issues with it, then let drop me a PM with your email address and I'll email it over.

Easy if you have the reg. certificate and identification, go to your local Main Stealer and ask for it. They shouldn't charge for it, but I got charged by those robbing barstewards in Chester.

My local dealer in Swindon gave it to me free, over the phone aswell when I first found my battery flat and KEYCODE LOCKOUT on the dash the day after getting it home!
You shouldn't get charged for it - but I wouldn't put it past them, that's for sure!!!

Check you have a live at the orange wire on the r/f receiver when you operate the fob. This wire sends a feed to the BECM.

guess im looking for a drop in voltage while the fob is being pressed , are these common for failing ? and doe other active car alarms really interfere with these units ,(just what I read is all )
