Quick post to pass on some hard earned knowledge to all those long suffering. "EAK doesn't work" peap"s. This has cost me 2 BeCM"s. Although that's an old story. A couple of weeks ago she went into engine immibilised mode on the driveway, so I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement RF unit for £270 delivered to France, but still could not enter the EAK. NOTHING, NADDA, ZIPPALL!
I then decided I should really buy a nanocom unit, so that I could use it to enter said code and help with future issues.
In the meantime, I had a quick look, at the locks and latches. Now this is where the knowledge comes from! In the latch assembly the micro switches are situated below the mechanical components. If like me you are fond of spraying,a bit of say silicone lubricant onto the lock arns DON'T! It runs down into the electrical bits and gums them up.
Anyway with the delivery tube on I drowned the lock parts in spray degreasent just to see and voila. The alarm suddenly armed it's self. I then closed the door entered the EAK and first attempt it worked! I've subsiquently cancelled the nanocom untill later in the year.
Hope this helps a couple of you out.
