Hi All, can anyone point me in the right direction for a fix on this first problem?
Last weekend I left my 1998 P38 parked with the key in the ignition, when I went to get in the car it was locked, so got spare key from indoors but the fob battery was flat so unlocked the car on the key, initially when I turned the key a message quickly flashed up something about reset code but it was so quick I didn't haver time to read it and the car started no problem. Anyway as there was a problem with locking/unlocking on th fob I reset the emergency key code doing the key turning left and right malarky, with no effect???
The problem is obviously to do with the central locking and maybe the alarm as I'm not sure if that's setting properly although the LED is flashing, unlock with the fob only the two rear doors unlock, turn the key in the drivers side door and the drivers door and tailgate unlock, lock on the key and the drivers door, rear doors and tailgate all lock, nothing happens at all on the passenger front door so you have to lean over and lift the button. I checked all the fuses I can find and unless there are any I don't know about there are none blown, so now I've used up all my meagre electrical knowledge, anyone got a clue what's going on here?
