Title: Confirm locking with remote.
Post by stigrolf on Jan 1^st, 2005, 1:38pm

Hi and sorry for bad english.
I have a 97 ford ultima 2,3 16v 140000 km
When i lock it with the remote or key, i dont get any confirming from the turn signals at once, but if i push lock button 3 times i get confirming. when i lock up i dont get any confirming. I have been looking arond this forum and i didnt find any answers so i hope that anyone has experied the same problem, and hopufully had find solution for it.

Ronny,
if you search the forum as well as the main page for "Global closing" or "Double lock" you will get a lot of answers to your question, because this is a topic, which was addressed already very often.

1) The behaiviour of your system is correct.

2) Activation of the indicators after single or double lock is a country specific feature. It seems possible to get a confirmation already after single locking if your FMD does a software change via his WDS.

3) But I don't think that very much forum members have done such a reprogramming, because it is not cheap, and a very nice alternative is available. It generally is called "Global Closing Mod " and is designed and build by Steve Collister. I suspect that the description of this DIY modification has gone with the big server crash in 2004. So here a short summary: a) Indicator and sound confirmation after single and double lock, and after unlocking, b) locking if the car has reached a certain speed (Lock-on-Go), c) opening and closing of all windows and sunroof via remote. I have mine installed currently without the "Lock on Go" feature. But even now I am impressed by the additional functionality, and I think the Kit is worth its 70 pounds.

A happy new year from Germany to you and all readers
