Chuggs1 10 Posted January 26, 2015 OK - had an new Cat 1 alarm fitted last week and since the fitting the boot lock is not activating with the central door locking (it was before) Just called them and they are having it in on Thursday to take a look but the guy on the phone said its probably not their fitting but problem with the car as they activate the locking from one point and would not have disconnected the boot in any way. I suppose there is a chance that this could go wrong at the same time as they did the fit but wanted to get some opinions Doors all work as does the fuel cap lock Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuggs1 10 Posted January 26, 2015 haven't got the receipt with me so cant tell you the model but its a Cobra - it definitely should control all the locking and does work on doors and fuel cap locking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted January 26, 2015 Is the lock on the boot the right way round so it unlocks with the central locking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted January 26, 2015 Well they haven't touched anything re the boot just taken out the old alarm and wiring and fitted a new one - it worked before they took out the old alarm and doesn't now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted January 26, 2015 suppose I will just take it to them and see what they say. Just seems strange that it stopped working on new install? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted January 26, 2015 I think what Jon was getting at, is the lock in the correct key position? I think in one position it remains locked regardless of if the central locking is activated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
