Background: 2004 Vectra with key fob (just have one) and no keypad outside door. Keyfob has the lock/unlock for door (which also turns on door light and handle light) and lock/unlock for the cargo bays.
Fob stopped working for both door and bays. Interior lock/unlock switches on panel by door for door and bays locks still works fine.
Figured battery dead on fob so replaced with new battery. No joy. Tried battery swap with known working battery from awning remote, still no joy.
Looked at pinned thread on keyless entries and other threads, got Winne doc on keyless entry, located module in bay behind fuse panel. Did the 'push the yellow button for 4 seconds' reprogram process (push lock button, cycle ignition key etc) but still no joy. Checked 12v push-button fuses in bay panel for door locks, bay locks etc and all seem fine.
Did notice one thing... doc describes a "soft clicking" sound the unit should make when the yellow reset button is pressed... I do not hear it. Unplugged the harness that goes into the box, let it rest a few minutes to see if electronics reset and/or harness issue. Plugged harness in, still no clicking, tried reprogram stuff, still no remote. Interior door and compartment lock switches on panel by door continue to work fine.
Anything else you can think of for me to check, or is the unit DOA? I am aware of the vendor issues and need to go to another system and probably a special wiring harness adaptor if it comes to that.
Thanks all.
