Have you ever opened your hood, then lock the doors with the fob? Notice what happens, the lights don't flash to signal it's locked. Then with the doors locked, drop the hood... What happens????

 

LOL, Wish I knew that a couple of weeks ago. I thought someting was wrong with the transmitter. Whenever I locked the doors...no flashing lights. I called and made an appointment with the dealer, he told me I would probably need to reprogram the transmitter. I then noticed my trunk was open slightly. BINGO! That fixed the problem. :o

 

Man you guys....

 

I had that happen last week. I was about ready to take it in when I noticed my trunk was slightly open.

 

it just happened to epitrochoid too but dont tell him i told you

 

I want to know why there is no dummy light on when the truck is open....I think I have driven around for a few days before with the truck open

 

sea-rx8, the dummy light shoud be the one that looks like your car door is open.

 

I am afraid I have to admit to poping the trunk instead of unlocking the doors a few times. My last remote had the trunk and unlock in the opposite places.

I think there needs to be a universal standard !

 

The door light does come on when the doors are open....but for some reason not when the trunk is open?????

Can anyone else confime this....or is it just me???

 

they dont come on if the trunk is open...just the doors..

 

haha im glad this hasnt happened to me yet. thanks for the heads up!

 

just be happy you have the feature...most cars the trunk isn't tied into the security system (except open cars like an Lexus Suv RX300, Mazda 3/6 5door, etc.) and so it is an easy way to break in...

 

Yes it is a nice feature, but always remind yourself, that when you lock your car, watch for the lights to flash and the horn to sound to let you know that the trunk or hood is open.

By the way, pressing the fob once locks the doors, but pressing it twice sounds the horn in addition. Are they both the same mode of protection?

 

yes the horn is just an audio indicator...and the reason it is a second press is if you don't want to make the noise

 

Oh no, I'm getting deja vu....

I had this exact same thing happen to me on my 626 and it took like a WEEK to figure out what was wrong! *blushing*

At least if my RX ever does this, I'll be prepared... *smiling*

 

LMAO!!!... OK all this time I have been wakeing up everyone in my apartments when I get home from work at 12.pm... Oh man.

 

I like to use the horn as a safty thing..if anyone goes near my car, i just hit the lock button a few times...it's better than setting off the stupid alarm

 

Trunk doesn't really close half the time. I am always noticing the trunk is open...

 

Me too.

Not with me.
