finnfox Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Question about central-locking. Ive had an 1999 Wagon GT-B and when doors were opened with keyfob, it would chirp and flash the hazard/turning lights. Also holding the buttons in the keyfob would open or close the drivers window. Its chassis got in very bad shape, so i decided to buy a new chassis around the engine (so-to-say) and found an another Wagon GTB but it was a year older, 1998. Still a 3rd gen though. And now to the problem. When locking doors with keyfob, only chirp will appear. No lights and also the window opening/closing isnt working either. Hazard light button works, turn signals work. I have tried another remote control module, no luck. Also tried with the -99 old door wires (which had power w ecu assy in those, which -98 didnt have) but no luck. Is that programmable somehow, or didnt the first 3gens have hazards flashing when closing doors with remote? Its really not a big problem, but would make it easier to detect in noisier enviroments. SOLVED - There were a aftermarket relay installed in my old legacy, which made hazards flash when opening / closing doors and also there was a wire for drivers door wiring, so i think that its also connected for the key-fob window controlling.

silverton Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 This is the first I've heard of a, potentially, factory alarm system having a remote window roll down function. It sounds like your other car may be in valet mode? the instructions for turning that on/off are around here somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnfox Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I also think that it is installed afterwards (window function). Just would be nice to know how its wired. Tried all the valet mode instructions which i have found, but no luck. Need to trace further.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnfox Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 Hmm... I dont think that my car has a valet mode, because it doesnt have alarm system. The chirp sound is pleasant, not the horn type. Both cars are imported from japan. I also saw this on the -99 drivers door, which the -98 doesnt have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
