hi all,
Having probs. with my central locking...drivers door was playing up so replaced the lock...then it flattened my battery....so fitted another one thinking this one was faulty also...flattened my battery again very quickly.....so...repaired the original one and just plugged it in without fitting it to the door...still flattened my battery.This seems to have affected my radio as it is now saying"OFF" when I have not even tried to put a code in.I have left it for hours but still will not clear...must be a connection somewhere.

Any advice welcome

Car must either be running or the key on, UNinterupted for about TWO (2)hours and it should return to CODE

hi,
cheers for that info.I was already aware of that but it appears that whatever fault there is on my locking system is affecting the memory of the radio....just trying to sort the locking out then hopefully this will rectify the radio.
