What car? What problems? The UCH performs many functions so you need to give us as much information as possible if you want some sort of help.

Hi mate I have a 172 ph2 on a 51 plate it started with the hazards going off whilst driving then middle of night alarm went off managed to knock it off but only way would be leaving car unlocked when opening it alarm goes off then putting key in ignition makes a strange noise speedo goes crazy and car will not start so I had a mechanic to look at it who run diagnostic check said problem with the uch then he had a look at the relays pulled then out most are corroded and the board where they go has water in it I'm at a loss on what to do tbh I'm a total novice on things like this the relays are out at moment thanks mick.

Try drying the board out first, take all relays out and clean up the contacts with a bit of fine sandpaper (Make sure to take note of where they all go)

Did that mate had the good old father in law down to have a look he cleaned all the relays up for me and the sorted the board the. Had a quick look at battery and it was showing 8.1v so bought a new bat car working ok apart fro
One thing pesky alarm goes off when I open the doors any ideas on cause or solution.

If you unlock it then open the door straight away (within a second) the alarm will go off (Mine does) other than that, not to sure.

I'm gonna try that mate as read it on here u need to give it some
time before opening bit of a ball ache really but I'm just half the car is on road thinking of speaking to a auto electrician to get the alarm disabled

Alarm wise you need to read the manual mate... it will give you a "beep" code when you dissarm it that will help you find out what is triggering it.

Ok mate thanks not to sound stupid but what's a beep code also it goes away when doors are locked the auto function locking thingy.

 

[MicKPM]

A beep code is a series of beeps which, depending on what you hear, gives you an idea of what is wrong.

And it will say in the Manual which beep means what I take it cheers for tha help on here all much appreciated I will try this beep code tomo as pissed of enough of the neighbours with my alarm over last few days will updat soon.
