Hi PP,
New to the forum and couldn’t find anything related to this topic in other forums, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction to resolve this problem.
I’ve recently purchased a 2021 VX Prado and loving it. I’ve installed a dual battery (lithium) under bonnet with a Redarc 1225 installed on a Kaon tray behind the grill, and a Kings drawer fridge in the rear cargo area. All pretty standard.
The problem I have is when I try and unlock the door either by the key fob or by holding the handle, it doesn't work on either the drivers side or passenger side of the car. The only way I can open or close the door is from the tailgate. Same when starting the car, I basically have to hold the key fob in my hand when pressing the start button, otherwise the display tells me there’s no key.
I’ve disconnected the wiring at the aux battery servicing the rear cargo area and everything returns to normal and everything works again.
I used 8b&s (twin) run in split conduit along the chassis to the rear and discovered the problem, so I pulled that cabling out and then ran 6b&s (single), with a separate earth to the chassis at the rear of the car on the second attempt and it made no difference.
Assuming I’m not the only person this has happened to, so any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
