Got some free time today, so reconnected the battery again, but the windows and sunroof stop responding to their switches again.

Hi all, hoping someone can help with some weird issues I'm having with my central locking system after I had a leak from a sunroof drain into the passenger footwell which meant disconnecting the battery for a week.

I'd be finding out which one and removing it to inspect for water damage as a first call.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, hoping someone can help with some weird issues I'm having with my central locking system after I had a leak from a sunroof drain into the passenger footwell which meant disconnecting the battery for a week.
Upon reconnecting the battery, I noticed the windows and sunroof had stopped responding to the buttons inside the car, so I pulled the fuses and they were all fine. A few minutes later the windows and doors all started miraculously working again.
Then my alarm started going off randomly, requiring disconnecting the battery again.
Got some free time today, so reconnected the battery again, but the windows and sunroof stop responding to their switches again.
Also, now the car has stopped responding to the remote fob lock/unlock button.
Checked the fuses again. All fine.
Tried reteaching the key, no joy, but engine starts perfectly on the key turn.
Interior lights won't turn on.
No response from alarm blinker on dash to key fob button, except when key is in ignition, when pressing the key lock button, the alarm blinker fast flashes.
Central locking button on dash does nothing.
Doors will drop windows a cm when handles are pulled.
Driver's door will unlock/lock with the key inserted.
Very confused as to what the problem/s might be?
:?
Is the alarm/central locking control module not under one of the seats?
I'd be finding out which one and removing it to inspect for water damage as a first call.
On a LHD, they're under the driver's seat, so I presume on a RHD it will be under the passenger seat.
They are under that seat - I've taken a look and all seemed dry and fine? :?
Would a knackered alarm control unit stop the interior switches for windows and sunroof working?
Yup ... well that's what i think so .. yup .
I read your post and thought .. alarm control unit has got wet .. pretty much all i can say other than get a garage to have a look .. my feelings are it will need to be replaced .
Id love to be wrong though
No, I took the seat out and it was bone dry underneath - took a look at the plugs and they looked dry with no obvious signs of water.
The ground strap looked like it had a little bit of oxidisation on it, so I removed that and the oxidisation was only very superficial so I gave it a wipe and reconnected it.
Windows and sunroof worked fine after all that.
Just to confirm: both windows do drop 1cm when you pull their handles, so they're getting power.
Thanks, if I only I weren't 2 hours from you I'd drop it in for you to look properly at it like a shot! :thumb:
Am still considering making the trip regardless. :?:
Bless you but i'm nothing special .. i'm not bad on fault diagnosis but there will be many people like me much closer to you.
Only difference is i post on here
