Several weeks ago I had the misfortune of letting the battery drain too low and when trying to disengage the alarm and doors the box in the dash started clicking but the deadlock wouldnt release. Subsequently opened the car manually and peeled the velcro back between the seat and lock. There is a wire which you can pull thereby releasing the doors individually on each side.
Any ideas.....Or is the relay box in the dash US? The central door knob is illuminated green and wont go off. When i press the green light button on top the car actually switches off! like a kill switch.
The battery is fully charged now using the CTEK charger which is excellent.

Thoughts??

Tim, have you tried disconnecting the battery for @5 mins and then reconnecting it? It sounds like the locking system has got a little confused confused.
