I got a '96 (technically it's a '95, but on the paperwork it's labeled as '96) 900 S a few months ago and have had very few problems with it, (had to replace the lcd screen, the radio won't accept it's code, and the muffler is a little loud) however tonight after I took my "better half" to the mall, I was unable to unlock the doors with my remote. The car responded to the remote in its normal fashion (the "doink doink" noise, flashing lights, and the red anti-theft LED) however it did not unlock any of the doors. Figuring it was a glitch, I pressed the button a few more times, then tried to unlock the door manually. Even when I tried to unlock the door manually, the locks wouldn’t leave their locked position, and I eventually was forced to dive into the car (via the truck, which I could still open with the remote) and start the car. Once it was started, I was able to unlock all but the drivers-side door with the lock/unlock button located near the ignition, and drive her and myself home.
I was thinking that perhaps someone has tried to break into my car while I was at the mall, but due to my lack of a manual (got the car second-hand and all local places charge an arm and a leg for one) I'm unable to find a way to unlock my doors.
I did find this post with seemingly the same problem, but I wanted to ask you guys if there were any easier solutions then jumping terminals (while I may be able to build a computer, I cringe at the thought of car electronics). I appreciate any help anyone can give me.
