Locked out - ghost in the machine
Posted: Sat Jan 02, 2010 3:54 pm
Had a strange one the other day
Got back to the car & it wouldn't open with the key fob
Tried to lock, unlock, tried the boot, nothing
like the fob was decoded or something
So I popped the cover off the door handle and locked & unlocked it a few times manually with the key without opening the door
(when the salesman unlocked it this way at the handover the alarm went off when he opened the door!)
Then I tried the key fob again and it worked perfectly, hasn't done it again so hopefully it was a one off
Very strange
