Keyless entry

(1/2) > >>

Roger Bowton:
THE KEYPAD FOR MY ENTRY WAS REPLACED WHEN i WAS IN fLORIDA BUT NOW THE BAY DOORS WONT UNLOCK BY PRESSING 9 AFTER THE UNLOCK CODE AND THE BAY DOORS WONT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOBS? DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS OR HOW TO GET A COMPLETE MANAUL??

THANKS IN ADVANCE
ROGER

Joel Ashley:
Roger-

We press the 1/2 key, per the manual, after the code to unlock our bay doors, not 9/0.

That said, you may have to try resetting the system by opening the dash access panel in front of the steering wheel.  Now, I haven't actually had to do this, but a thread in this forum in March, http://forum.bacrallies.com/m-1268691876/s-1/highlight-magnadyne+door+lock/#num1, indicated that unplugging and replacing the antenna, perhaps several times, that's attached to a black box adjacent to the engine and tranny connector, may do the trick.  Thank Dennis Evans if it does. ;)

Roger Bowton:
I'll give that a try. Do you have any info on programming the fobs?

Joel Ashley:
The Beaver owners manual is all I have, and it only talks about customizing the unlock and program codes, and restoring them to factory default.  It says the keyless entry "Lock" button locks both the entry and bay doors, which is true with the "Locked padlock" icon button on the key fob.  However, you should understand that even though there is a "Cargo Lock" button on the key fob, it does not operate on the Monterey models.  If that is the button you are trying to lock your bay doors with, that explains your issue there.  To lock the bay doors with the fob, you must use the button with the locked padlock icon, then hit the unlocked padlock icon button if you want the entry door open and bays locked.  

Pain in the neck, but reckon we would have had to splurge on a Marquis to get a working Cargo Lock button.  Go figger.

In the same vain, we discovered that even though you're supposed to be able to hold the keyless entry's 3/4 button and get the patio light to come on, that feature isn't activated in the Monterey either.  Would be nice coming home on a dark stormy night trying to see the locks.

Roger Bowton:
That explains all of my problems .  My manual doesn't  explain that and calls for a 9 after the keypad unlock to get the cargo doors open. Looks like things are as good as they are going to get



Thanks

Roger
