Help, can't get in.

[Scoobycity]

I thought I'd give the Cerb a once over with sponge today as I've got someone looking at it tonight (its for sale). Things were fine as I pulled it out the garage shut the doors and washed it. I then got in afterwards to move it into the sun and when I got out the window didn't shut back up and now I can't open either of the doors.

Pressing the alarm either gives 4 flashes of the indicators or 1 (think its normally 2 and 1 isn't it?).

I've reached in and tried the interior door open button but that doesn't work. I've tried using a broom handle to open the windows further but they don't seem to open either. Strangely enough the broom handle can even start the car.

Please help ASAP before tonight. D

Hi Danny

You could gain entry using the secret method, pop the bonnet, disconnect the battery, wait a minute or two and then reconnect the battery. This has worked for a few people as it resets the alarm/immobiliser. Will the boot open? Once entry is gained you could also try unplugging the door/window control box located on top of the fuel tank to reset the box so to speak but be careful not to get the 3 similar smaller plugs mixed up.

Simon

Similar thing happened to me after washing the car, I had to disconnect / reset the door/window control box.

Thanks guys, a 30 second disconnect of the battery sorted it.
