panameras · 02-23-2009, 03:13 AM

After replacing the car's battery, the remote door lock does not work anymore. When tried to manually lock with the key, it only locks the driver's side door. But it does lock with the central locking button from inside the car. What would be the problem do you think? Thanks for any suggestions.

Other problems I've found.

1, radio does not turn off when pulling the key out of ignition.

2, my aftermarket xenon main beams do not work anymore. But the city lights are fine.

By the way, the car has a Giac flash and has cat bypass pipes. It's an Australian model so only had one pair of cats instead two (like the US models), when I first replaced these cats the engine warning light did not come on and it has been fine ever since. Don't know if this info changes anything.

Appreciate any help guys.
