Simon_CSK Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 My 2001 Disco has decided not to unlock or lock from the remote. When I open with the key the alarm triggers until /i turn the ignition on. Can anybody throw some light on the problem please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is the battery in the key dead? If not, it sounds very much like the RF receiver has died (lives just in front of the rear sunroof above the headlining). Although from experience, when they go, i've only ever started the vehicle with the EKA code so not sure why yours starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both keys light up when I press the button and as both were working previously my guess is that it is something other than the battery's on the remote. The other thing I have done on the alarm side is disconnect the interior sensors to stop my dogs setting off the alarm when I lock the car with the remote.

teabag Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 And the alarm activating when unlocking is as it should be, so normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not lock with the keys when the dogs are in - that disables the interior sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally V8 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The rf receivers are not overly reliable,it may pay just to borrow one from another car if you can.From memory they are about £40+vat from LR if you have to buy one. The other common issue is water getting into the wiring loom on the LH A pillar when the sunroof leaks.It corrodes the pins and sockets in the multiplug and leads to high resistance in the joint. Disconnecting the volumetric sensors is fine,they have been disconnected in every LR I've ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingy Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Have you tried re syncing your key with the alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
