TD4 central locking cripes

My Hippo has very intermittant door locking problems......... Once every month or two.......


Problem 1. When unlocking the Hippo with the blobber (remote thingy) One press the driver`s door always unlocks ok, when I press twice on the blobber the rear passanger doors open slowly, more the left one slowly that the right.......sometime it won`t open fully to unlock from out side.

NOW..... when I use the internal in dash lock switch every thing works ok.....as if on warp speed.......when I press close, all doors close in a milli second....you can hear the doors all close shut...... and the same when you press open.........in a milli second all the snibs shoot up...............So why with the remote control blobber are the rear snibs so slow to come up?????????

I 1st though faulty door locking mechanism, but using the internal on dash switch every thing is ok......every thing opens/closes warp speed with this button. Its just with the remote on the 2nd press the rears are slow to come up.


Also again once in 2 months the rear door has refused to open.........after leaving it 30 mins it opened, without moving the rear window down, after a few open and closes it now works ok.

I think very intermmitant wiring fault........Or what I think mostly....one of the ECU`s gets confused once in a while and plays up?....can this happen???

Any one else had anything similar???

change the batt in the fobby fing and try a complete reset. . . . .oh and never have the spare fobby fing on same key ring or in the motor

Arrrrrrr! Har!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Hippo does bleep at me when getting inside it. But I checked the fob battery and it was reading over 3V....................But I may just change it any way........

Whats the restet procedure??


Thanks Mr Ming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
