jc1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi I have a uk 2000 classic shape Subaru Impreza turbo Saloon on a V Reg I've have changed all the door panels on my Subaru, like for like off similar model age and spec. Before changing the panels the remote central locking worked absolutely fine. The car has the standard factory alarm/immobiliser remote central locking system (blue remote fob with one button for lock/unlock) Now the when using the remote the car will attempt to lock but then the locks bounce and the car remains unlocked. The alarm/immobiliser however will be set. However if the key is used in the door lock the car will fully lock and unlock as normal. Does anyone have ideas why the locks are bouncing on the fob but not on the key?? Any help much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have you tried locking each door individually? Sit inside the car and lock each one, if one door is not able to lock it may cause the others to stay unlocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yes all doors lock individually. What is baffling me why it bounces on the remote but not when you use the key in the lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Okay I get what you mean now, so all you have done is swap the cards? Nothing internal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I have physically changed all the doors. Some were the wrong shade or had damage so used a donor vehicle to replace 4 panels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 From what I remember from an older impreza I had, the central locking arm is seperate from the manual door lock arm. I had an issue where the drivers door wouldn't lock because the arm had come loose but the door lock would work fine. As said, something may be stuck or twisted inside preventing the arm from fully moving and rather than burning the motor out the module resets it Will it unlock with remote after being manually locked?

jc1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't think so, I will check later. I will say no for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I thinks it going to be a case of strip the door cards off and make sure the doors lock before putting the cards back on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc1980 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 ok I think I will have to individually isolate each door to find the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Don't know if you've got the same issue but The wiring was different between my old 97 UK turbo to my 94 jdm sti so I had to switch over the bit of loom that goes from inside the "b" post too the door switch . I'm not sure if was the jdm to uk or year's that changed though but I was lucky enough to have both cars so mixed n matched them to work. Maybe try refit the old drivers door card to see if it works ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have you checked relays & fuses before you start ripping it all apart ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
