hi All! so my central locking worked perfect. I shopped around, read forums and found a unit that has been successfully installed on many e30's. the brand is random, Ratek, but the transmitter is an aftermarket BMW key, so thats why i got this one... instructions are poor, diagrams dont say much. so with the help of forum posts and other peoples DIY instructions, i got it connected in 15 minutes. everything works, except for the unlock feature. as you all know the locking system is a negative trigger or grounded system... so i figured i need a relay... i installed that, and still nothing. ultimately after everything i tried i think something else got messed up because with the key, the central unlock no longer works when i unlock from the trunk, but the locking works. And from the driver side door everything works fine with the key...
so I have questions and need help:
Please Help!!!
so I have questions and need help:
- have i now damaged something in the central locking since it doesnt unlock everything when i use the key at the trunk?
- or did i mess up the trunk actuator? since the unlock and lock work from the driver door, when using the key
- what am i doing wrong that i cannot get the unlock feature work? the lock feature works the same way, grounded / negative trigger, why is that working, but not the unlock??
Please Help!!!
