We have had the above mentioned unit installed [model PID 3619G] in our Landcruiser. We have experienced one or two problems. The central locking no longer works & the clock light stayed illuminated when the car is locked manually. Has any one had any similar problems????

cheers, ian g

I have the Polaris in my 200, been there nearly 3 years now and haven't had a single issue at all. Was yours "plug and play" or did you have to wire it in? It does sound like you have a crossed wire somewhere.

Hi Ian G,

Your central locking problem may be unrelated to your polaris unit.

I cannot see how it would relate to the central locking circuit. I assume firstly that you have a 100 series cruiser (your photo in sig line) and that you have fitted it into the dash area in which case there would be little chance of the wires being mixed up there, AFAI Know.

I had a central locking problem and it was traced it back to the door control unit fitted in the drivers door (80 series). Little green box located lower down on door and rearward of centre. Probably same location on the 100 series.

Fixed mine by getting a second hand replacement from the wreckers and have not looked back.

Perhaps a trip to your autolec might be a good first stop just to isolate the problem. I thought mine was related to the alarm system I had fitted but autolec traced it to the control unit.

Try replacing the battery in one your key fobs to ascertain whether it is merely that.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers, Bruce.
