P38 lock out

Hi
1999 P38 left standing for a month and battery completly flat now.
Key wont operate in drivers door.
Tried to get power into system via starter solenoid and use EKA still no go.
Tried key in lock and holding fob button still no go.
Any ideas please.:doh:

First step, fully charge the battery, thats if it will take a charge.

£1 and packet of dry roasted nuts

What do you mean by 'key won't operate in driver's door'?
It won't turn? The lock won't release? You can't get the door open?

Now have power going in via starter.led on dash flashing.Turning key to left makes hazards flash. nothing when turning to the right.
All doors and bonnet shut and locked.

Do you have your EKA code?

yep, tried that,

Hi
With key in lock did you turn and hold in lock possition and then press lock on fob etc
Also is the dash showing ant lock out info

Hi. Yes tried that.. No info on dash as all doors locked.
Its looking like new window time.

are you putting EKA in correctly; 4 turns left to start, enter EKA, 1 turn right to finish...?

Hi, yes just tried again, no luck. LED on dash flashes faster whilst trying.

If you enter incorrect or cock-up in any way it locks-out; make sure battery is WELL charged, leave it 30mins at least, then EKA>

Can you open the door with the key?

No, locked out

Make sure door handle is pushed all the way in try key again
Try unlocking with key and at same time open and close door handle
Looks like its lock related before you look at eka and key synk etc

Hi just tried that, used non key fob key as well. no luck

Hi, sounds just like mine when my battery went flat, it locked me out of the passangers door but the lock on the drivers door still opened the door with the key. I had to break the lock on the passangers door to get it open. its called "superlock" where you calnt open the door from outside or inside so smashing a window is not going to get you very far.. is there enough power in the battery to stop the central locking from bouncing under low battery? have you tried pressing the boot lock button as someone turns the key in drivers door to open position, sometimes this allows axcess to the rear boot. Hope its not blocking your drive or worse on the street.

How did you charge your battery and for how long

Cheers Doughdotcom managed to get in via the tail gate turning the key and pressing the button. opened bonnet and put jump leads on key in ignition, alarm sounds and display says press fob button.. didnt work. closed everything up and tried EKA but still doesnt turn alarm off.
Ideas anyone.

On the positive side you are in. Maybe obvious but how are the batteries in the fob? Does it's red LED flash when in the ignition or you press a button?
