Weird ignition starting issue
Posted: Fri Jun 29, 2018 2:13 pm
Hi all, I've got one issue that seems to be creating several somehow related problems.
1. Starting...start motor seems very sluggish, but does starts engine after several turns of the key. (Battery fully charged)
2. On starting engine, can hear relays in L/R door tripping and around the dashboard.
3. Using keyfob double pressing to open ALL 4 doors, R/R door remains locked and internal door leaver opener has no effect.
4. Using keyfob single press to open driver door only. Sometimes all door latches move but don't open the door.
5. Just changed starting motor (replaced new), above problems persists.
6. Sometimes I can hear relays tripping around the lower dashboard area when all the other weird things occur.
7. Checked every fuse in fuse box, all OK.
8. love cars, hate car electrics
Any ideas, anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.

Update: Just used keyfob (single press) to drivers door, every door remained locked except for R/R (see #3 above)
