Xantia deadlocking

Post by IanR »

Or rather, doesn't any more. A while back, it stopped responding to the second plip button. This is the infra-red plip variety.
Anyone know where the ECU that controls deadlocking is to be found? Is it the same one that provides the alarm, under the passenger seat?
It also occurs ot me that the plip batteries are a little low, but still serviceable. Might there be something built into the plip that prevents deadlocking when the batteries are getting near the end of their life?

The alarm works off a separate fuse.
The factory-fit alarm on thsese cars is extremely prone to false alarms, and on this one the fuses have been pulled for a long time, and alternative security fitted. The alarm fuses don't affect the deadlocking.
