How have a managed to stop the remote locking???

Joe H · Jan 30th, 2020, 09:29

Last night I removed the Parrot handsfree system from the car. Everything fine afterwards....except it will no longer lock / unlock with either of the remote keyfobs. Arrggh !!
Central locking still works with the key in the drivers door.
I guess I have stopped the alarm working entirely as the light on dash isn't flashing. I can't see any connectors dislodged and fuses in the main fusebox are OK, so any thoughts about how have I managed to do it?

The Parrot was connected to the radio with adapter cables so to remove it I had the glovebox liner, radio and panel above pedals all removed. The microphone cable was tucked under the rooflining and A post trim so just pulled out. Power cables only went to the handsfree and were cut and insulated so I didn't disturb the fusebox.

1999 V70 Manual 2.4

TIA !

To help me narrow this down can someone tell me where the receiver is in the car and is there an aerial?
Thanks
Joe

The receiver has a built in aerial directly attached to the pcb and is located under the top dash panel (basically fastened above the gauge cluster).

Hmm. I didn't go anywhere near there.
Is the remote central locking part of the alarm system? I can find 2 fuses for alarm and c. locking. Both are fine so not sure where else to look!.
Cheers

When I bought my 98 V70 it had an aftermarket alarm mounted (a Viper something).
I removed it but I've never got the dash light to flash again nor the remotes to work :/

I'll be following this thread as I'm kinda out of ideas on what to try

Weird. I took everything out and can see nothing I could have disturbed to cause the problem. I am not near the car often to work through problems like this which is frustrating.
