cam_hoof i have a similar problem with mine, do you mean when you try to unlock the car it sets the alarm off??

yes that is exactly what happens but you cant turn the dam thing off,
but now i cant even lock it on the fob because it gets upset & starts crying about the 1 job it has to do,

lol mine occasionally unlocks and locks and sometimes doesnt even do that, i was getting sick of having to use the key so i pulled the fuse on the alarm, now if it dont unlock then i just use the key to get in, downside is the alarm doesnt work but it stops me looking like im trying to nick it when i get in now lol!

only solution i can find is a new UCH which is around £300 plus fitting and coding so a bit more.

sounds like a plan i think i shal do the same was your alarm hidden on top of the glove box under the air bag?

 

[Millsy]

yup

be aware though that when i replaced the fuse to see if the alarm would work.............. it didnt lol, so pull the fuse but make sure you realise it may never work again. i am at some point gonna rip the whole cobra alarm out of the car, as the problem with my intermittent locking/unlocking is, i think, attributed to a loose wire near the fuse box/UCH as when i hit the glove box it starts working again lol!!


Renaults, dont you just love em!!

 

[cam_hoof]

lol, love them you meen the bain of my life at the mo,

And as for it never working again, once i get my hands on the f**ker its as good as dead,
