letsgotopless Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Doing my head in trying to find and fix the receiver for the remote alarm. Page 100 of the BL section of the component pdf as photo below shows the small 3 wire module under the passenger lower instrument panel but its not there and a diagnostics specialist also couldnt find it today. Is the diagram for left hand drive and so should be on the drivers side in the UK? Also i see there are several modules for sale in the US which are all white/opaque plastic with four pin sockets (but only 3 apply) whereas a couple for sale from Germany i think are dark plastic and look very different with lots of pins. Can anyone say for sure where it is and what colour please. Alex, do you have a good used one for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yes, I will have this. What year and model is your car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgotopless Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hi Alex and thanks for responding. Mine is a UK 2005 soft top manual . No one has helped answer my question about exactly which side and where the receiver module is. It must be on drivers side as we cant find it passenger side?

karlh Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Are you using a UK or USA service manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) From memory, Im pretty sure its on the passenger side under the heater matrix. If Alex is unable to help with the part, I have one Edited August 16, 2019 by Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Here you go: I have 3 in stock and all divorced properly from the donor vehicle. (E) from the schematic below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgotopless Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Many thanks for your replies Guys, especially Alex who sent me the pdf BL electrical section of the manual on the 18th July plus the full description from that which shows how the system works. The identification problem still exists however and i am pursuing this on here also to help others in the future who have the same issue. Now, were it not for pages BL92 ,93,94 and 100 of the aforementioned manual I would have easily found the answer by now under the passenger lower dash where 2 modules are easily seen and removed as per the pics i took at the time which i will try to attach here. HOWEVER, those pages above in the manual clearly show the "remote keyless entry RECEIVER" as a separate item with only a 3 wired connection to the BCM . On ebay USA there are several showing the RECEIVER module with the 4 slot socket with only 3 being used. The BIG question for me is therefore? Is the manual wrong on this and the receiver/antenna part for UK cars is within the 3/4 inch long black module shown in the post above from Ian. That would mean the manual is very wrong and misleading for us and has wasted weeks of my time and money for diagnostics. Lets get this all clarified to everyones benefit.

letsgotopless Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Here is the exact wording from part of the pdf manual relating to receiver unit.......... Key fob signal is inputted to remote keyless entry receiver (the antenna of the system is built in remote keyless entry receiver). Remote keyless entry receiver sends keyfob signal to BCM terminal 20 from remote keyless entry receiver terminal 2. The remote keyless entry system controls operation of the power door lock hazard and horn reminder auto door lock interior lamp and step lamp panic alarm back door opener (For coupe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Is the schematic that I sent over, not showing in my last post? The Keyless control unit is (E) part number 28596 3Y500 and is on the left hand of the dash under the airbag and just left of the previous image that you posted of the control timer (D) part number 28550 CF000. The Immobiliser control unit (B) part number 28590 C9902 is located on the steering lock. See schematic below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgotopless Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks Alex. From what you say the manual (pages BL92 to 100) are wrong for our cars then. The Keyless control unit (E) part number 28596 3Y500 is something i nearly bought a month ago as several were available until i saw the manual as mentioned earlier. The receiver part must be inside then. Mines a convertible if it makes any difference (2005). I will try a replacement in the hope its whats needed as diagnostics guy said the BCM was not receiving any signal from the receiver. How much incl postage to SS1 3BE Alex?
