147 electrical quirks

[dkmarsla]

Hi, brand new forum member and Alfa 147 2.0 owner (as of yesterday...) and it's got a couple of niggles I thought one of you might have experienced.

After using the remote central locking to unlock the car, when you open the passenger/drivers door, the boot pops open...lol. I'd assume it was an electrical issue/micro-switch problem so not that easy to fix, but has anyone else experienced this?

Also, the spare key does not seem to enable/disable the alarm or operate the central locking, is it expensive to get it re-programmed?

Thanks in advance for any help! Dave

Hi! and welcome. Could try dismantling and cleaning them both with a drop of PCB cleaner, the three micoswitches that is. No idea of the cost of re-programming though. Just gently ease the Alfa badge away from it's sticky backing, to get at the wee countersunk posi screw, then prise the two halves apart.:

Welcom.

There are many many threads about 147 keys and
reprogramming of the car. (It's a dealer job. )

Try a quick thread search for all the useful info.
like checking the key battery etc.

Thanks guys, didnt even consider it might be something as simple as the battery lol. Any ideas about the door/boot? I think its unrelated to the central locking, as even using the key to open the door pops the boot.

Hi All,

Have a 147 and not surprised to have a few electrical issues.

Have bought a workshop manual CD on e-bay but it has no wiring diags,
just loom and item locations.

Anyone know where i can get proper wiring diags for 1.6TS.

Thanks
