[s-cars] 93 S4: Door Locks reversal (EASY SOLUTION)

[Daniel Hussey]

BZZZTTT!

There is a much easier way and you can avoid taking out the rear seat or
disconnecting the battery, which fucks with all your settings and your radio
codes, etc..  I did a lot of hunting around in the wiring diagrams and
electrical TSB's... and I found an easy solution.

With doors unlocked.  Open hood, open fuse panel under hood....  Look for
the relay that says "A1" on it.  It's a little metal one, and I can't
remember the exact location, but I think I'm right on the description.
Should be in the first slot on one of those rows, I think.  Anyways, pull
this relay and let it sit for a few minutes.  This disengages the alarm
portion only.  Put the replay back in and then lock the car with your key
(manually).  Wait a few seconds, then try the remote again.  Should be good
as new.

Try that and let me know if it works...  I've had it happen a few times on
my car and this did the trick every time.

Later,
