Good day to you all from sunny UK! And believe it or not it is sunny for a change. OK I have a problem you may be able to help me with. I have a 2004 Mini One, and for some reason it will not lock or unlock off the remote. It locks all doors and boot, if I put the key in the lock on the drivers side. But pressing the buttons on the fob does nothing.

Been to Mini Dealer they did diagnostics (took a while they had problems communicating with the car) They said the remotes are coded and have new batteries in them and are fine, there is no problem with the BC1 box, the door actuators all work. Said It must be a wiring fault somewhere but no idea where!!

Can anyone suggest anything else I can look at to solve the problem? Does anyone know if it is possible to change the Central Locking receiver? Is it coded to the car?


Thanks!

 

Moving this to the Gen1 Stock Problems/Issues section. If you have not already done so can I suggest you do some searching in that forum as well as some search engines (NAM is tied to many search engines and sometimes the engine has a larger word recognition base).

 

You did check out the sticky about door locks in this section?

 

Yes tried everything even replaced the receiver behind the mirror still not working

 

Looks like you went through everything, I would recode the keys the car again. Sounds like they have a communication issue.

 

How do I do that? Does it have to go to the stealership for them to do??

Thanks

 

Yes.
