The weird thing is the LED on the dash does not flashe when the car is locked. It only flashes when I program the remote.

I will DM him and hopefully he'll check out the topic.

Can you post a picture of whole dash please?

Not just sections.

I need to see switches too.

I can't. My dad isn't home right now and I got him to snap the pics.

The switches were the old style square ones, I changed them to the later ones (which are more rounded)

Mark that solved, sorry for that i didn't follow up. Had a lot of work this weekend.


I needed to place the other car's central locking relay. That was the solution.

BTW, a little off-topic question. Does someone know why relay port 213 is missing from my car. For the life of me I can't get 12 volts to go to the fog light relay.
