Hi,
I've got an '89 Carrera Supersport Cabrio, which I've owned for the last twelve years.
I like to try a fair bit of the maintenance my self but one thing is beating me at present and I wonder whether any other owner has had the same problem and might be able to offer some advice.
The remote locking with the key fob has long gone west, so I rely on the key to operate the central locking. Lately I've noticed that when locking the vehicle, it locks, only for it to unlock again straight away even though I hold the key in the locking position.
I've taken off the door cards on both sides and removed the micro-switches behind the locks and the locking actuators. I have run a meter over each of these components and all seem to be OK. I've even managed to get hold of another ECU for the locking system but still no luck.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a solution? I'd be extremely grateful for a bit of advice to get things working again.
Regards Gerrt
