My 1991 Pajero Exceed 2.5 diesel auto which I love had to have some work done to pass its MOT.1st time I've had a problem in the 6 years Ive owned it.
Seat belt fixings welded,rubber boots on track rod ends and steering replaced.Break pipes replaced.Garage had to do this work !
When I got it back the key fob remote wasnt working.I bought 2 new batteries for it,did the recommended.. press both buttons together then the lock button 3 times to reset it.Still didnt work.Checked fuse no 12 under drivers side dash...ok. Dont know what to check or look for next.
Theres a black box cover screwed under the passenger side dash with wiring going behind the steering wheel .Is this a fitted remote receiver.I cant make out what it is .Its about 6"x4".I thought the remote was standard on this Paj model and the receiver was in the middle of the dash under the windscreen.

Can anyone please help me or at least give me some good adviceon what to do next.

Thanks

Remote central locking wasn't fitted to Mark 2 Pajeros as standard on any model. It was an optional extra, but very rarely taken. So virtually all Pajeros that have it are due to an aftermarket kit or alarm. Hence the non-standard looking control unit you found. When you say the fob doesn't work - does it do nothing, or does it flash lights but fail to unlock the doors? If it still flashes the indicators etc, but doesn't unlock the doors, take off the drivers door card and you'll probably find a solenoid bolted to the frame. Disconnect this and measure the voltage at the wires. If there's nothing there then it's probably the unit that's failed. These kits usually have inline fuses though, so check to see if there's a fuse in the wiring.

The box in the middle of the dashboard is the geomagnetic sensor for the compass. Smile

Does the remote look like this

If so then I think you didn't reset the fob properly.

Try this:

1. STAND CLOSE TO THE CAR

2. PRESS AND HOLD DOWN BOTH BUTTONS UNTIL THE LED ON THE REMOTE FOB GOES OUT (APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS)

3. RELEASE BOTH BUTTONS THE LED WILL COME ON CONSTANTLY

4. THEN PRESS BUTTON A 9the big one) FOR 1 SECOND THE LED SHOULD FLASH THIS SHOULD COMPLETE THE RE-SYNCHONISATION

My truck came with something similar - only one of them though so no spare.

It eventually stopped working and I couldn't find anyone who sold a new one - the Mitsy dealer just said "unobtainable"

I just fitted a new alarm system with a central locking interface.
