central locking
 

Hi I have Volvo s40 1997, the problem is with my cars central locking system, when I lock the doors with remote its locks, but after 3 seconds the turning lights starts to flash and don't stop. When I lock the doors with key everything is okey and works fine. Can some one help me with this.

Regards

It sounds like there are two problems. When you lock the car with the remote, it arms the alarm system. The corner lights are coming on because the alarm is technically going off. First problem: the alarm is not arming properly because the car thinks one of the doors or trunk lid or hood is open. Assuming you're not driving down the road with the hood all the way up in the air, there may be an open circuit in one of the door locks. Second problem: you should check the siren, to see if its working. My guess is that it is not.

thanks
