Pete Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm sure I had this issue once before, but I'm damned if I can remember what the outcome was. The car will lock and arm the Clifford 600 fine. The remote will disarm the alarm, but not unlock the car. I have to use the key. The button inside the car will lock, but will not unlock. There is a sound like a relay triggering near the alarm installation, but no sounds from the locks. I've connected the CliffNet Wizard up and used the I/O tests and that does the same thing. Locks the car, but will not unlock. The battery doesn't seem particularly low as it cranks over ok. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) Oh yes...I have had this issue before: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?61699-Clifford-will-lock-but-not-unlock-the-car-(&highlight=clifford+unlock Out I go into the wind again... Nope - that doesn't work. Must've been a fluke last time. Edited January 29, 2013 by Pete (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm going to strip the door down and check out the door switch at the weekend to check for water ingress. If that doesn't help then I'll also try replacing the alarm battery as that stop chirping years ago and possibly disconnecting power to drain settings.

listy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Central locking control box could be the culprit. Re or blue box with one plug going into it, about the size of a fag packet. Located passenger side dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm sure I had something like this happen with my concept 650. Think Lee P told me how to reset it but can't for the life of me remember how! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sounds just like Rich's fault, we changed the central locking unit over from my car which works and it didn't make a difference. We are stumped tbh, we checked all the wiring, lock connections, everything. Must be the alarm I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks for your input. It now doesn't lock OR unlock. I'm going out there to get medieval on it's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have a red central locking unit you can try if you get stuck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have a red central locking unit you can try if you get stuck mate. Cheers James. Is that the box on the passenger side somewhere? I've stripped the door down, it looked like it had been damp behind there but seemed dry now. Took the switch apart and managed to trigger the doors to lock/unlock by pushing 12V to the right wire. I'm not sure what that proves? This opens/closes both doors locks so possibly not the relay? Should the Supra unlock both doors when using only the key or just the door you're using the key with? Mine only unlocks the one door. As for the alarm, I've stripped the siren and replaced the battery with a home made copy as it stopped chirping years ago. At least that works now. I couldn't see how to factory reset it using Cliffnet Wizard software, I wonder if this can be done by key fob commands... It's too bloomin' cold outside now, tomorrow I'll try to figure out where the alarm is spliced into the door locks tomorrow and maybe temporarily remove that to rule out the alarm causing this.

Pete Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I knew there was a good reason I uploaded all these files: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?118-Electrical-ICE-and-Interior The doorlocks one: All doors can be locked or unlocked simultaneously using either front door. Turning driver’s side door lock switch once will unlock driver’s side door only, twice will unlock all doors. Door locks can be controlled by switches on driver’s side or passenger’s side doors within vehicle, or by operating each door lock with key or lock knob. Front door(s) cannot be manually locked when key is in the ignition switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 I removed chunks of dash to get at this little box at the weekend, gave up and put it back together again. Yesterday as if by magic it's working again. All I did was manually lock the passenger side door from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Got the same problem today, with my Toad Alarm. For some reason it will not lock doors using the Toad Keyfob, but it will unlock them after I lock the car manually with key. No idea why this has just cropped up! Any advice?

listy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Possibly central locking control box. Mine was doing this over winter, but now the weather has vastly improved, its sorted its life out. If you need one, Marco79 has one for sale, as he was holding it for me, but I no longer need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulley Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Mines doing the same today, I seem to remember it did the same last winter too The toad alarm I'm sure is outputting correctly and the drivers door lock/unlock switch will only unlock as does the road alarm But I have to lock it manually Must be the central locking module is damp/playing up again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 When you have the damned thing out give it the test I use on Lucas electronics. Find a deep pond or lake. Toss the thing in. If it floats retrieve and smash it. It if it doesn't walk away. And no, I didn't subject it to 5kW of RF, much as I was tempted. BTW, Jane's dad died on Friday, ten minutes after I walked into the room. Never get me to visit if you are ever really poorly.... It's becoming a worrying trait that I seem to have Speak soon.

np89 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 post 52 in that thread worked for me, however I found the DOME fuse was blown so that may have been the underlying issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
