Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 5th, 2005, 2:34pm thanks there fitzy,had time to have a quick look today (thats about it as it is p****ing down here today >:( >:(),think i have a case of scotch-lock syndrome :-/ :-/ when the weather gets better,will probably do as advised and go round and have a go at soldering all the conections,that should hopefully sort the problem out.. thanks again... craig.. |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Fitzy on Jun 5th, 2005, 4:17pm Thats ok mate. I'm still having the same problem with mine even though i have soldered most of the connections especially the ones to the locking and unlocking wires. Mine still seems to global open everything when it just feels like it even though i don't unlock, relock and unlock it, but it still opens all the windows and sunroof, bit of a b****r especially when its raining and i have to get in as quick as possible and start the car up as thats the only way to stop the procedure from continuing. will probably have to solder every joint and see how that goes otherwise i might have to remove the mod altogether. Fitzy ;) ;D ;) |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 5th, 2005, 5:51pm puts my little indicator problem to shame then really :-[ :-[ has yours been like it all the time then mate,or has it only started playing up recently ? |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 7th, 2005, 4:53pm well did turn out to be scotch lock syndrome in the end,might well be worth people taking note here,scotch locks seem to be perfect as a quick fix in the short term in my opinion,but on something like this might be well worth taking the time to solder all the connections..... :-/ :-/ |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by nitram on Jun 7th, 2005, 8:32pm [] I had an Escort once where someone hat put a scotchlock on near the battery and every so often the car would cut out completely and I had to get out, pop the bonnet and poke at the scotchlock 'til the alarm made a noise and I could carry on my way! IMO, soldering is the only sure way of making sure you have a good secure connection that is unlikely to cause problems. |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Fitzy on Jun 8th, 2005, 5:35pm Craig, Yes, i've the problem since the first day i fitted the mod, Steve Collister even exchanged for a new one but i still got the same problem. I've soldered all the joints for the locking and unlocking, all the others are still scotchlocked, so i think firstly i should solder all the joints and see how that goes in case there is a problem with them. If still present will either have to remove it or suspect the solonoids in the drivers door. Will keep the sit informed as to my findings. Fitzy ;) ;D ;) |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 8th, 2005, 7:25pm fitzy... i would recommend soldering ALL the joints,even though on mine it was the 2 wires to the hazzard flasher,this knocked out the buzzer under the bonnet,as well the central locking on go function,so yes i would guess that if only 1 wire is not connected properly,it could (and did on mine) knock out th other functions..... good luck with it all :) :) and when you get an hour or so.. ;) ;) |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by SteveCollister on Jun 15th, 2005, 6:42am Hi Craig and Fitzy. Craig it sounds like one of the contacts on the relay inside the global mod has shorted out. If you send it back to me I will replace the relay FOC. Fitzy I had your replacement device on my car for over a week and it worked perfectly. If you want you can send it back and I will check it out again. Also I could disable the global opening feature in the software if you want. The other problem were you were locked out of the car is most probably due to a dodgy connection to the vss signal. Check the connection you made to the vss wire on the back of the radio. email me on thestylecouncillor@runbox.com for any further info. Cheers Steve |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Boblavens on Jun 20th, 2005, 8:45pm Steve What exactly is the global opening and closing mod? What extra functions does it provide? Would I be better off trying to get the Comfort Mod sorted if does the same and more? Bob |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 21st, 2005, 6:56am whats the comfort mod... ??? ??? ??? anyway,global closing mod in a nutshell,when double locking the car,any window/sunroof thats open will automatically close,when unlocking/locking then unlocking again within 15 seconds,all the windows and roof will open up,you can also have lock on go which means that as you hit approx 15 mph all the doors automatically lock,you also have an audio "beep" as well as indicator flashing for all the remote functions... HTH |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Boblavens on Jun 22nd, 2005, 11:05am Craig It's a mod that Jamie Austin was developing but due to work pressures never could finish. He had a clear out a while back of his "Junk" and I got a circuit Board, parts list and info from him. Still trying to work out what it is all supposed to do. Hurray Pop the Bubbly! I am now a Junior Member not just a Newbie!!! Bob |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 22nd, 2005, 3:02pm now thats got me thinking here..... so bob,what are the features of the comfort mod,and what's it's advantages.... in other words.... what does it do... ??? ??? |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Ultima_Alan on Jun 22nd, 2005, 4:33pm You guys have baffled me totally, but can you use global closing by the remote and how do you program it to do so ?? |
||
|
Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Paul B on Jun 22nd, 2005, 5:36pm The global closing mod does allow you to operate it from the remote. The standard Ford design only allowed it from the key. No special programming of the remote is necessary though. Like Craig, I have no idea what the comfort mod is. I know there have been various things done, like auto wiper operation (when it rains) and there was talk of one being created that opened the sunroof when the car interior reached a certain temperature. |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 23rd, 2005, 6:41am WHERE'S THE PAGE GONE ALL ABOUT IT ON THE MAIN SITE ??? ??? ??? |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Snoopy on Jun 23rd, 2005, 7:30am do you mean these http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/modindex.htm or the Global one which does seem to be missing. |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Boblavens on Jun 23rd, 2005, 10:47am OK guys. The Comfort mod, now this is from the info Jamie sent me: Humidity control of the AC or CC. Auto Boost fro AC or CC. Auto Sunroof tilt and close when starting. if cabin temp is high, aiding airconditioning in rapid cooling. Auto sunroof tilt and open when parked, for cooling the cabin on hot days and to protect the fluid filled rear view mirror. Fade down interior light when ignition is on. Flashing of interior light when ignition is off and car is locked. Power down timer for this board, to protect battery when park for long periods of time, e.g. Airports etc. Auxilliary output to flash indicators when locking. Auxilliary output to turn headlights on with remote keyfob combinations. Auxilliary power timer for add on equip, car phones, chargers etc. And the ability to program the board from a PC. PHEW! Is that enough to think about ? Bob |

Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by craig on Jun 23rd, 2005, 2:48pm wow... now that comfort mod sounds a bit good,..... snoopy... see what i mean about the pages for the closing mod has disappeared...... |
||
|
Title: Re: global closing mod..slight problem Post by Snoopy on Jun 23rd, 2005, 7:52pm Ys craig I think they were some of the pages that got lost after the last major crash and have never been reinstated. Time space and other factors are the reason... I will see if Eric has the pages stored away somewhere, but its very doubtful. It was only with the help of the mebers that a lot of the pages were actual;ly recoverd last time, but we now have a FULL back up faciilty. |
