Re: Central locking quit working after checking fuses

Just an odd question here. Did you pull the fuse out when your key was in the ignition by chance?

Re: Car won't lock with fob!

Find scottjoh. Get his advice first before firing your guns. It doesnt matter how much it costs because you will not want to know. On top of that, I thought a bit of programming is required

Re: Car won't lock with fob!

I am almost 100% sure this has to do with your car thinking the key is still in the ignition

Re: Power and squeaky problems!!!

If it occurs where you cant drive or start your car,try disconnecting your maf sensor. Or better yet,try it now and see if it happens again
