mk4 key fob issue -------- locked out ! UPDATE

[Ant1981]

strange how the motion sensors didnt activate the alarm while we had our arms in etc!

Well if you've got dodgy door modules, that'll stop the alarm from being set, usually. But as you must have used the fob to lock it, it does seem strange, as if the module doesn't let the alarm set, it usually stops you from fob locking it. Interesting how the car didn't appear to be deadlocked. Usually if it's been locked properly, you can't press the button on the door to unlock, the key has to do it.

I have to lock mine at the moment on the key as it won't lock by the fob as the modules are dodgy, so the alarm isn't being set either.

sorry to drag this on, just a bit about today. went and got the window glass and cracked on with fitting it. disconnected battery for half an hour on the off chance it may sort the fobs, then hoovered out all glass christ it gets everywhere!! then reconnected the battery and after a bit of alignment got window and frame semi-assembled. tried the window up and down, working perfect so reassembled everything properly, door card back on, closed door, pressed lock on fob ........ LOCK!  it worked?? i was scared to try the unlock  :embarassed: but went for it ........ UNLOCKED!! did it several times to make sure it wasnt a fluke, working fine! so im kind of back to normal, with the addition that ive got my door locks on now for any dodgy moments. i know its not 100% fine as interior light still doesnt come on with the open doors, but at least i've got a way of getting in if this crazy situation happens again. so if anyone can pinpoint where my problem lies i will get on with trying to sort it. have to say thanks for all the advice, was a great help. andy
