You should get 1 long flash for unlock, 2 flashes for lock.

3 or 4 flashes mean a fault. All this is described in the handbook if I remember.

Rear LED flashes fast for a while then slows if I remember correctly, I could be wrong on that though.

POSIBBLY THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB IS NEAR DEAD?


Ow! My eyes!

[skidoo]

ive replaced the fob batterys but still the same, is the locking ecu behind the rear seats under the window as i think maybe thats a good place to start ?

Mine has always flsahed 4 times when locking.

I think this is normal.

I thought that to Marcus until I read the hand book and saw some other cars. 4 suggests a fault with one of the sensors I think and then the fast flashing rear screen LED tells you which one.
