No lights flashing when locking the car!

« on: September 13, 2015, 05:50:09 pm » Hey guys,I seem to have a weird problem. When unlocking the car with the fob, all the lights flash at me/headlights turn on at night like they should. However, when LOCKING the car with the fob, NONE of the lights flash to let me know when the car is locked.I literally have to listen out for the clicking sound (standing about 2 metres away) to know for sure my car is locked and is becoming quite annoying now.It's a MK5 2004 1.6FSI 5Dr.What to do?

I will re-check for you to be sure it is not a function of the convenience settings through the MFD. Logged K04 PLAY...K04 turbo/S3 INJ. & FMIC/FORGE FMTC, TB hose, & WG actuator/GIAC's H.O.

They then agreed yes it's a wiring problem then "done me over" for £100! We need the car for further checks - I haven't bothered they seem pretty clueless unless it's something straight forward... « Last Edit: September 15, 2015, 05:35:17 pm by andy7ven » Logged

This allows me to change the alarm settings a well as other o options such as drl, coming home lights etc as well as reading fault codes and resetting fault lights. Logged
