You must reset your remote control in order for the lock/unlock to work properly.
To reset remote you would: 1)Insert Key in Ignition Turn to Position 1(Don't Start the Engine) for about 5 seconds 2)Turn Key Off and HOLD the LOCK button on Remote while pressing the UNLOCK 3 TIMES 3)Release both lock and unlock buttons you are holding 4)All doors should automatically unlock
try locking and unlocking the car with the key 3 times slowly ,other than that i have no idea ?? another trick is to disconnect battery and join the cables together for a few minutes to discharge any capacitors that may be holding a charge in the computer..Only other thing i can think of is the main dealers who have the right connectors and software to re set it all .sorry i havent been of any help
Hi Craig, I'm running a E34 Tds Touring with a similar problem, my rear doors and tailgate have dropped of the central locking circuit. I have been told it is the Central locking Module a large black box under the dash that is faulty, apparently a common problem. Hope this points you in the right direction, Please remember to rate my effort! Paul 'W' Onyer~EDson(:0) {#><U.K.
