remote central locking

[dant5r]

The remote central locking on my 96 850R has started to be a pain.

It locks ok but wont unlock with the fob. I've reprogrammed the fob and changed the batteries in the fob but still wont unlock.

could it be the fob ? or the receiver ? if its the receiver where is it located ?

the fob usually tweets when pressed can you hear it for unlock? saying that its only the one button on 96 so i doubt its the remote

Hang on, have you got an 850R and a T-5R?

My 96' R did this also. Found a couple of corroded wires on the positive battery terminal, repaired them and it works fine now, might be worth a look. And the fob should chirp every time the buttons are pressed, if not the fob is faulty.

New batteries and a re-program fixed mine - can't remember the reprogram but its really easy with the ignition key - ther should be a thread somewhere on here

this could be because the remote button is sticking down after it is pressed.
can you hear a continuous buzzing after it is pressed, or just a plink noise?
