Title: 2nd lock flash?
Post by harry.m1byt on Dec 16^th, 2006, 8:37pm

As some of you may remember, I swapped the CCM for a later one and found it would flash on double locking.

Today I double locked it with the remote, it double flashed and I walked away. I happened to glance back around 30 seconds later, just in time to see it give a another double flash.

So I went back to make sure it (checked the internal chrome door levers) was still locked, it was. I then unlocked and relocked it, carefully watched it double flash and stood waiting, and waiting for it to do it again - nothing.

So what was the second flash 30 seconds late all about?

Mine does that 2nd lot of flashing (when double/deadlocking it) but I have the recently talked about mod fitted.

Try it again. It should either be doing it or not. Certainly not a mixture of the two.

hi there

i've heard about a few cars that do this 'extra' flash. one idea is that it's switching on the interior sensors. :-/

It spends most of its time safe in the garage and this is the first time I have locked it away from home. The second time I locked it there were a couple of distractions, so perhaps I missed the later flash. My Granada manual, (fitted with internal sensors) said it did delay activating them, so depsite my Scorp not being fitted with them - it might well still be indicating that they are activated. I'll try and watch it more carefully next time.
