Ok I think I have mine sorted.... I have purchased lithium batteries from fleabay and seem to work for a while.... I was cleaning the interior of the car on the weekend and wanted to charge my mobile while the car was off.... Now stick with me here please.....
I have a GU IV and the 12v outlet near the cigarette lighter does not stay on once the ignition is turned off.... but my cigarette lighter does.... my keys are in the house... so I plugged in my phone charger into the cigarette lighter and continued on cleaning....while my phone charged up.. After cleaning a closed all the doors up and forgot about my phone on charge.... I went inside and got the remote fob to lock the Patrol... guess what... The bloody thing wouldn't lock.... I was pissed big time....
Then I thought hang about.... it worked last night... then I remembered that my phone on charge..... So I took the charger out of the cigarette light and guess what... The remote started working again....
I then placed the charger back into the lighter and the patrol wouldn't lock again....via the remote.... took the charger out again and patrol would lock again..... So must be if there is a power draw somewhere the patrol remotes will not lock...
Sorry for the long post
