Central locking / alarm

[Teetertank]

Recently had a flat battery which is now fully charged. Not sure if that was related to this issue, but I now can't lock/unlock the doors. Chim is the keyless entry with buttons on the mirrors.

I am wondering if the reason that the battery went flat after about 4 days of not being used is something to do with the alarm or central locking system - I presume the two systems are connected. The immobiliser recently packed up too, and is now temporarily bypassed.

So anyone have any ideas of where the problem lies? And otherwise is there a way of disconnecting the alarm and still using the central locking, or if you disconnect the alarm will you always loose locking?

...or are there central locking modules that could be installed to work independently of any alarms/immobilisers?

You need to reset the alarm, disconnect the car battery and reconnect and immediately press the remote to reset the system.
This should cure your problem.

A couple of weeks ago I couldn't lock my car, it turned out to be a dry joint on one of the coils in the central locking relay, it was the large grey one to the left of the alarm unit. It might be worth checking to see if yours is working ok?
I presume you've checked all the fuses?

Yes, haven't tried resetting it yet. Will give that a go tomorrow.

Checked all fused recently but not since alarm issues. However the alarm was activating while I was driving shortly after taking it out for a spin to charge the battery.
